All,
I am looking for anyone's/everyone's experience on rebuilding the
original Ford 260 engine.

Specifically, I want to know how big an over-bore those Ford Industrial
engine blocks can tolerate. I have heard anecdotal stories of thin walls
causing overheating on over-bores over 0.030", but I have also been told
these blocks are beefier and can go .060" or .080" over.  I am NOT
considering taking it out to the full 4.000" bore of the 289/302.

I am working on a project which, if it proves feasible, will be of great
interest to many Tiger owners wishing to keep their original engine.

Thanks,

Bugz
