I'm still curious why the bore would be +.040". I know some engine suppliers go out to +.060", but that's out of necessity and not a generally a good idea. At the shop I worked for, we would not go any more than +.030". Maybe the Blueprint blocks have thicker cylinder walls than GM blocks.???

x2. Doesn't make sense to bore out a 'new' cylinder/block just to target a cubic inch dimension(??). More CI from a stroker crank set-up? Sure; but not boring cylinders just for a 'C.I. number' increase. I could understand if it was done on blocks that had poor bore specs that a hone could not correct but that seems suspect.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
