Building a 557 with mahle pistons, know the d 9 block has deeper walls, and possibly may have to clearance , any pro or cons to one or the other?

Use the longer bore with that stroke ... an A460 block would be my choice.

I am running a 552 4.5 stroke and d9 block I didn't have to clearance the cylinder walls.

How hard are you turning it? Street engine?
I thought about possibly filling to bottom of water pump holes, I'm running methanol as well.

Re: D9 or d1ve block
i would evaluate both blocks then select the one better suited overall (ie, cylinder wall thickness & uniformity, core shift, etc).Steve-oh wrote:Building a 557 with mahle pistons, know the d 9 block has deeper walls, and possibly may have to clearance , any pro or cons to one or the other?

Paul I was checking out your site, going to do your mods to the block of I decide to use a factory block, what's the difference between your pump and the kasse pump and what kind of clearances do you like to see on the bottom end?
