    401 sleeving

    Is it possible to sleeve a 401 block out bigger? Anybody try this. I have the stroker crank and have yet to order pistons, but I also have another 401 block that I could build and would like to go as big as possible...500cid or bigger. Chevy sleeves or something??
    If this new part can't break....what old part will??

    Yes you can block fill then bore then sleeve then bore then oring and get really close. I dont know of any reliable stock deck height 500+ CI AMC blocks.

    Why oh why didn't AMC make a big block...lol

    I was kinda thinking the Indy block also...but big $$$$

    With my Indy heads and timing cover, the only thing AMC would be the crank then.
    If this new part can't break....what old part will??
