I have a bbc marine, gen 5, 4 bolt block. Going to freshen. Thinking about a new rotating assembly. How big can you bore this block and still be reliable. It's a bracket/index motor. Dont want to fill block.

I have been using a bow tie gen v block bored to 4.600 using 15 to one comp. and have no grout in the block. The GM max recomended bore for this block is 4.6". Grout is for bone stock blocks with core shift. A new aftermarket block is cheep insurance for block quality. You'll have more in machine work and gimicks to get the durability of a good block than a good block costs. You decide
