I've got a good 400 block. If I bore it out 30 over and use the stock crank what would my CI be? Thanks.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.
Bore x Bore x Stroke x .7854 x Number of Cylinders=C.I.
Example in this instance: 350 Chevy
Bore = 4.00"
Stroke=3.48"
Number of Cylinders= 8
4.00x4.00x3.48x.7854x8=349.8486 cubic inches, Rounded to 350

If I started with a 400 CI block and bored it out 30 over and used the stock 400 crank I'd end up with what???Remember this is a 400 block not a 350. I know I cought somebody sleepingWinkzgator2007-07-24 16:41:49

I come with a 406.774. This is possibly wrong or should I say probably wrong. If a standard 400 has a  bore of 4.125 and a stroke of 3.75 and you're boring it .030 over, 4.125 + .030 = 4.155

4.155 X 4.155 X 3.75 X .7854 X 8 = 406.77495

OK Joel, tell is the right answer.LOL

Doesn't seem like much but the numbers check.
Looks right to me.

Thanks guys. This is going to be my next engine build. It's still on paper but I do have the engine.

Boy, 406 sounds real familiar. Didn't some one else around here build one of those, or have I been watchin too much of PINKS. Good luck on that motor build.
