We've been discussing a crazy mega stroker Rover V8 on the V8buick forum:
Late Rover block, 96.5mm sleeves taken out to 3.8":
Buick 350 crank: 3.85"
Buick 300 rods: 5.96"
Supercharged 3800 pistons: Comp height: 1.095"
Destroke crank with .030 OS rod bearings to 3.82"
3.8" bore x 3.82" stroke = 346 ci.
3.82/2 + 5.96 + 1.09 = 8.96
Ha ha ha ha... Wooooo... lol.
Somebody has had to try this already though. Anybody know? I might try to get a 350 crank and see what it looks like compared to a 300 crank.

You have to take the spaces out.
One of these days I'm going to modify this message board software so that it doesn't automatically truncate hyperlinks when they're displayed. It annoys me a lot!
Here's the actual URL for the article Tony referred to: "http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/MonsterMotor.htm"
Here's a working hyperlink to it: http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/MonsterMotor.htm
Sort of but with a Late Rover block. The deckheight is a bit lower at 8.96" where as the 300 block's deckheight is 9.54".
Here's a link to the discussion if anybody is interested. I may try to flesh out the viability of this a bit.

The thread started out to be a thought experiment that is similar to the "MonsterMotor" article then we start thinking about the possibility of the late rover block as a potential option. It can't be stable and the cylinder shear might be too great but it's fun to research.
Wildcat engineering makes a modified Rover casting that can be made up to a 6.0 litre.. I guess that would be around 375 CI.
