Siamesed 4.000in. or 4.125in. cylinders can be safely bored to 4.165in.. Ductile Iron sleeves and extra thick walls produce excellent ring seal. Requires use of remote oil filter. No provision for block mounted filters. Relocated oil pan rails are spread .400in. per side (.800in. wider than stock). Oil pan bolt holes are relocated in line with main caps. Big block camshaft bearings allow the use of cams with larger base circle diameter to improve strength and reduce twisting with cam driven pumps. Rear external oil inlets, with crossovers and restrictor provisions located centrally in the valley to simplify plumbing with external pump.
