the 2nd we pushed the limit on the sleeve, Darton says max bore for the MID sleeve system is 4.155, but we went 4.185, with a Molnar NHRA 3.59 crank 6.3 Length rods . 395CI 1.75 RR and 1.12 Comp height, and they spin that thing HIGH.

you could in theory build a 460 with the Darton sleeves, 4.155 X 4.25 , with a 6 in rod you would need a 1.125ish comp height , with a 6.125 rod you'd need a hockey puck `1 inch ish, now a Carrillo Pro 66070H rod would be a good compromise 6.07 length. bad thing is those rods are about $300-400 each....but then again everything in this "bench Race" 6.1 is going to be costly


I think you'd have issues with that short of a comp height. Boost pistons require .250 minimum from the top of the Piston to the first ring groove. But like you said everything would be big money.
