bore and stroke

I was wondering what is the most that it is wise to overbore a 300-6. If possible I'd also like to increase to stroke. I'd like to see something like 4.10X4.10 as opposed to factory specs of 4.00X3.98.

What do you want to accomplish that would require such a massive and most likely not feasible piece of re-engineering?

A build like Col Flashman's might get it done...but then you run the guy with a 383 stroker that claims it is a 350 then what?

Actauly my real dream is to build the motor Ford should have made. But I lack the resources to do this. So I'll have to settle for the next best thing. I always thought about 4.25X4.25 361 CI Inline 6. Put a turbo and a cooler on it. But I person but always have dreams right? Kind of sad realy. The inline 6 is the best truck motor configuration out there. But it never did get the credit it deserved.

Not the credit, yes...but the I6 certainly got the use. The tremendous amount of applications in which it was put to use is more than adequate testimony to that.
