Ok so here's the deal... I got a Complete 351 C engine that had been Cleaned up and bored 60 over with the Crank turned. I got it cheap (150 bucks) because the Guy who had it had no clue where to start with it to put it back together. I'm only 19 but I get some help from my dad who knows a good deal about cars. I had a few questions though, I read on some other threads about people who had blocks bored 60 over and how quite a few people said they shouldn’t fool with that block because the walls are over specs and could over heat and crack and possibly cause detonation. I was wondering if there was some way to get around having to buy a different block. Maybe adding some dry sleeves ? Or Maybe another route. My dad told me that he thinks that resleeving that block would be to expensive and I should just look for another bare block. Also I was wondering if anyone could give me some good input on how I should set it up if I wanted this car to be a street able everyday driver/cruising car. I’m only looking into rebuilding the bare block up to a short block, the heads and all those more expensive items will come later when I save up a few thousand. Thanks
