.040 is the best, But you can go .060 over but it may try to run hot in the summer time.
No more then .060 cause after that the cylinder walls are to then.
You can bore a 350 .090 over, but the thing is the bore is so big that the cylinder walls are about a hair line thickness apart. In order for the engine to accept the bore and punishment of the shear power, the 350 Block must be casted with extra carbon to strengthen the block.
NO the bore / cylinder size is different. Pluse the stroke
NO The bore and stroke is different.
A 383 is a 350 block with a 400 crank. The block is bored to 4.030". A 400 has a 4.125" bore, so you'd need to bore the 383 roughly .095", which is probably not practical as the 350 is not made to be overbored that much.
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.
Bore the block .040" oversize and put in a 4" stroke crank.
The bore and stroke is different, But if you set the 2 side by side they will look the same other then some 400 engines have an extra freeze out plug in the side of the block that the 350 don't have. 350 bore and stroke is 4.000 bore,stroke is 3.480 400 bore is 4.125 and stroke is 3.750
Im not sure the maximum but I think you can bore out to at least 361.
Standard bore would be 372.
350 block, 400 crank. Main journals must be turned to accept 350 bearings. Stock bore is 377. .030 over is 383.
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.
Yes they will. The bore is 3.785 so they wont hit
