Hey Tom....No Virginia for me. I race the ones within a couple hour ride and that's fine for me. Once upon a time I would go anywhere, but that time is long gone. I'm still treading water with a health issue anyway....good luck this year with either car you are racing.....Rich

Re: Boring out a early model 396
Alan 20 years ago we bored them 60 all the time for stocker engines, but i think 30 as long as you dont plan on making more than 500 550 hp they are not very thick 180 or so. Good luck.
