Cesar, assuming you mean Hemi, a megablock means it is siamese bores. If it does not have core shift, it will go 4.500. A regular Hemi block is generally good for 4.310

The instruction sheets that shipped with them originally claimed they'd go to 4.600" actually, but I don't know anybody who's tried it.

Ours is on 4.565 sonic checked ok on thrust apart from back cylinders no. 7 & 8 bulkhead side are a bit thin but no probs yet and holds temps well with street driving/racing, but the combo makes max hp @only 6000rpm.

I thought the later MP/World "megablocks" were the only ones that claimed they'd go out to 4.600"?

In my response above, I was referring to the pre-World Mopar Hemi blocks.

Fwiw I have a full water jacket block and there's a sticker on the bellhousing area that says 4.34 max bore.
Maybe best to just have it sonic checked.

Just for Info, we had a 4.50 bore 528, using an early # 625. The block had a crack in the external water jacket nr the starter. We got it repaired but we still always had to run it with block / rad sealer. Doing a little bit of digging I heard there was a few out there like that. Anyway, we got a replacement block sent over to the UK FOC after my wife managed to get hold of Dave Hakims email address,that one was a #624. We ran the 528 for years and it's still going with another owner but then we wanted to go 572. We dug the #624 out, it was sonic checked, there was no way it would safely go out to 4.50". We ended up with a KB block.
