The service limit from Packard was typically .045 on oversized pistons. I have seen .060 on pistons, and have been told .080 will crack, especially on the V-12.

The biggest problem with the L head is breathing. It will be like emphysema. The V-8 motor is more adaptable.

However if you want to turn cash into smoke don't forget nitrous injection in addition to the blower.

I'm not much of a hot rodder but nitrous and a blower should make for a big noise.
