Re: V8 60 stroker

I am assuming that was a French version of the 60, similar to what was done with the bigger block motor? Did you ever try going further with the bore?

Re: Synthetic oil

Out of curiosity and my lack of knowing I guess, what does the zinc do for the older motors, that isn't needed in the newer ones? I guess I would assume it has something to do with corrosion? But...
