Dyno Numbers
Here's a link to a site with some dyno numbers for L98, LT1 and carbed SB engines.
Just in case you haven't seen them before.

What surprised me was that a LT1 block can take a .100 over-bore!

I had a Bb bored .060 and when I was washing it prior to assemble, I found one of the bores had a long crack in it down near the main web area.
It was in a spot that even a sleeve wouldn't help, so that block became a over-sized paper weight.
At .100 over, I bet the walls were vibrating like crazy.

Didnt read it. Did they happen to say whether it was sonic checked? And what the cylinder wall thickness was afterwards. To do a .100 over SAFELY, the walls would need to be .300 to begin with. Dont see that bein the case.....
BTW, we've done several .125 over big blocks. Back in the day, before all the aftermarket blocks, thats what ya had to do to build a big motor.
Done a couple BB fords .125-.140 over. Poked and stroked 460s up to 514 with offset ground cranks.
