Hi all,
fisrt sorry for my bad english, I'm french...

could someone advise me regarding a idea that I have.

What do you think about boring an oldmobile block to 4 inch with wet tliner ?
 the 6 bolt by cylinder will be great for this bore?

thanks for your help

Bad idea.

Been tried by someone that was quite experienced with Rover V8s.  Didn't end well.

ok thanks for your quick answer.

I will keep a 96mm bore with a 90mm crank

96 mm x 90 mm, what is that ? 5.2 litres ?

What is the rest of your engine, cylinder heads, carb or fuel injection ?

If you want displacement, consider using the 300 Buick block as a starting point with possibly the 350 Buick crank for a 5.6-5.7L displacement and greater strength, reliability and durability. It's a proven combination.
