A small block Chevy has a 4inch bore. When you bore one 30 what you are doing is removing .30 thousandths from the cylinder. That would make the bore 4.030 or turn a 350cid into a 355cid.
a 400 small block Chevy has a 4.125" bore.
4.030
You can get a 454 c.i.d. small block Chevy with a 4.185 in. bore and 4.125 in. stroke on an aftermarket block with a raised cam
A small block. It is the first motor squared, by Chevy, meaning it has a 4 inch bore, and 4 inch stroke.
You can't... There's not enough steel in the cylinders to bore it that far. If you want a 454, you need to by a big block 454 Chevy engine.
4.125"
bore and stroke a chevy 400 smallblock.
4, and 1/8th inch.
The legendary 1969 ZL1 427 big block Chevy had a bore/stroke of 4.25" x 3.76" , while the newer LS7 small block has a bore/stroke of 4.125" x 4" , both of which feature aluminum heads and block .
No the head gaskets are dependent on bore size
You are better off stroking it. The 400 has 4, and 1/8th inch bore. It also has siamese cylinders to accomodate the larger bore. And, the water does not use water to cool. It has steam holes, as the cylinders are too thin to run watrer, so, remember to have your cylinder heads drilled out for the block. To bore that motor, you would have to sleeve the cylinders, then bore them out. Very expensive.
4.000 inches -- same bore size as a Chevy 350, the difference is a 327 uses a 3.250 stroke and the 350 uses a 3.480 stroke.
