D1VE AA block ?


I might buy a engine that has D1VE AA block to use to build a stoker engine
Is this a good block to use for that and is this block a 429 or 460 block and does it have thick cylinder walls for boring far over
The engine also have DOVE-C heads on it what size valves are in it and what cc are they

D1VE AA block ?

You have a desirable block in that it has thick main bearing webs that can easily converted to 4-bolt mains. Cylinder thickness should be the same as other 385 blocks. If you plan to go more than .080 oversize on the bore, have it sonic checked.

DOVES are 75-78cc with standard production sized valves. 2.09Intake, 1.65E.
