D0VE-A block

Their are a number of guys in Northern Europe that are into Fords, Look around for some of the Forums in Sweden and Scandinavia. You should be able to get a decent buck for it.

What is the maximum safe overbore for these CJ blocks?

A safe overbore can only be determined w/sonic check. But most will go .080 ,some will go more,but some won't go that much. On a high HP build ,I would do one at .0.30.On a street engine I would'nt bother at .060.jmo of coarse.

I had a CJ block bored to 4.470, sold it to my buddy, still going strong after hundreds of runs. It is Hard Bloked up to the water pump holes. It makes a good 700-750 HP

.

I removed all the pistons and found couple of damages in one cylinder. That is why I asked for the overbore. Looks like I have to go more than 0.030". I Hope not but possible.
I got the Marti report also. This motor was a C code 429CJ 4V non ram air with a 4 speed close ratio toploader in a 71 Torino 500 2door sportsroof.

The report should help you sell it. collectors always seem to be interested in the history of stuff. Post up a few pictures of the damage.

Honestly that won't affect the performance of that block one bit, but it will affect the value, as most don't know any better.
