Re: [Chrysler300] 300 F: from 413 to 426

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A stock 413 is 4.18 bore and a 426 is 4.25 bore.  So how about punching 
it 70 over.  Then you'd be right on spec for the stock 426 pistons.  And 
the 10 thou cleanup over your current 60 might be just be just what it 
needs without much more risk.

Like Charlie says, check the block out first.  But you might have a very 
good plan.
