Every time I ask this question I get 50 differnt answers, but here it goes any way.For D0VE and D1VE 460 cid blocks, how far can you safely bore out the cylnders? All my life I have bought only vergin blocks but somone gave me a free D0VE block. It already has been bored out .030". Has anybody ran into any problems going more than .030"?

Welcome to M&M !
We have bored them to .100 over several times.
Sterling even makes an inexpensive .100 over cast piston for the 429.------------------

Great! Thanks for the info.  If I don't sell this block in a job, I plan to use it for a 1/2 filled 554 next season.

The D0VE-A and the D1VE-AA were the basis for the CJ/SCJ engines. They came in 2 bolt and 4 bolt configurations and had the thick main webs. You can add 4 bolt main caps from Milodon or Program without any problems (they are splayed verses the stock outer bolts being straight into the web).They can generally be bored .080" over without a sonic map and some will go to 4.500" with sonic map. On my D0VE-A, I just went .030 over this time. On the 557 I built a few years back, I used a 4.440" bore and a 4.500" stroke. Nice runnig motor with the BT-B's on it. ------------------
