Re: How much overbore?

Craig,

I'd be happy with the most feasible overbore near 400 cid that would accommodate readily available pistons/rings. Nothing radical, just doable, as the manufacturer might approach it as an enticing upgrade in a new model.

It might also be generally helpful to Packard enthusiasts to have an idea what could be done to overbore V8 blocks with worn or damaged bores... without breaking the bank on custom pistons.

(BTW, nice pic of your Patrician!)
