Re: Oversize OD main bearings for 37 21 stud block
The Ford factory spec for the 21 stud engines cylinder wall OD, is 3.380, that only leaves .095 wall thickness, at best (no core shift or corrosion).
Once I obtain the Ford drawings, I decided that the most I should bore my '37 block, was .080 and not the 239 size, I had intended. 3.188 bore doesn't leave much sealing area at the bottom stud, either.
