try +150

85mm bore, usually requires na 'L' block or a linered block otherwise the pistons get a bit wet !

+40 is 1mm

Ford bore 80.9mm
Twin cam 82.5

the Twink 'L' block is a thicker wall casting and most will take 85mm, otherwise its a risky job in as much as the walls are so thin they distort or become porous.

I'm at the other end of the equation, I look for std ford bores as my max overbore is +40 ie 82mm

Thanks Guys.
It Would Have To Be On An Early Pre Crossflow Block. When Did The Twink Come Out.

both where 1963. at least the 5 bearing blocks where 1963

I'm not sure if Cosworth or anyone else cast blocks ( I know others did heads, and I'm still after an Aquaplane Ally head) I think it was just ford
