One of our 275 327 E stick engines is a .040 over stock block. Probably well north of 500 runs on it. ( been freshened several times) it has been 10.70’s in decent air. We call it super street because it will run at least 10.90 in any conditions.

I think the key is that it hasn’t been bored bigger. We even coated the Pistons to help the sizing over time.

We had a 327 once that we filled and ran .060 over. My preference to to not run a filled block if I can avoid it. Either a thick enough stocker or an aftermarket
