I don't have my old MP Catalogs available. I think they made a couple different ones. 4.50 bore
What I know: 4 bolt main 4.38 Bore Water Cooled Cast in 2003
What I don't know: Siamese? Capable overbore?
Right now its an aluminum rod 540 built as a Truck Pull or Mud truck that ran alcohol. I have to get it apart to determine cam and a few other things.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Im trying to find out more about the engine since it was built some time ago and the original owner is deceased.
I have contacted Indy and JE-

I have contacted Indy and JE- Are you going to pull a head? If so it will be easy to tell if it's a siamese bore block by poking a piece of wire in a casting core hole on the deck that is between 2 cylinders and see if is goes between them.
running up my post count some more .

I think all the early blocks where the Mega blocks that didn't like to be bored much over 4.410 Maybe someone on here will know when the first World cast iron replacement blocks started entering the Mopar inventory One of the local racers had several of those early Mopar Mega blocks that had cracked at 4.500 but lived at 4.410 to 4.440 bore sizes I would have it sonic tested before boring it any bigger

The builder stated in the notes that it's good up to a 4.56 bore

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

According to the sheet above, there are several blocks with a max overbore of 4.31". Must be referring to those. Verifying the max bore would be mandatory anyway if i were to have it bored for a 572

My mega block was one of the last ones that Mopar built.. even at 4.500 bore it still had .200 wall thickness... that was with 64 readings per bore EDIT this was a 4.19 siamese block that I was told to get vs the 4.5 bore because of the bore quality and would need to be redone
