Re: can -am aluminum engine
4,44" Bore, thats 430 CAN-AM.
4,25" Bore is a 427 0- means that its a prototype. |

Re: can -am aluminum engine
Thanks for all the help . Im 51 and never seen Pro/Stock valve covers . I need to get back over and look at engine again and get a hold of owner . There was an extra crank ,6 aluminum sleeves and at least 6 red gm head gaskets . this guy told me the owner had more heads and other stuff ,will get his # and give him a call.
