How much boost?
Hey guys, anybody have an idea on cylinder thickness of a 351C, or for that matter how much boost they will hold safely? I'm building a 426 stroker with a 6-71, I'm considering a World casting aluminum block, any other suggestions, and will sleeving my stock 351C block be worth it? any info would help,
Thanks,
Brian

Have your block sonic tested for thickness 4 ways, in each cylinder and watch out for core shifting. If the thicness is within a few thousandths everywhere and what you consider "thick enough" you should be good to go.

Asking somebody to quote a boost pressure for your build based on the block you're using is like asking how many bags of french fries you should buy for your hamburger stand. Nobody has any idea unless you get a lot more specific about what you're trying to do and everything attached to it.
You should think of what your power goals are for the engine and then work from there to figure out what type of setup it's going to take to achieve those goals. You can decide if your engine is going to be able to handle those specific circumstances and if you're happy with the kind of durability that build is going to give you.
