Boring and Stroking a 63
Instead of all these talks about supercharging or turboing the new 63 engine, why doesnt renntech go back to the old school by boring out and stroking the engine. Bigger pistons, a bigger crank and new cam should bring this power up to where we want it. They used to do this on the old n/a v12 engine with sizeable results, wonder how long it will be before it is an option on this v8. Anyone with any info on the matter?

While I think the results could be fantastic with this sort of work, those are things to consider. I'd bet you could bump that engine out to 7 liters and make it a 600+hp Z06 murderer, if you didn't grenade the tranny first.
