 Hi All. Just got approved to the forum and do like what I am seeing. Have had a 57 Custom 300 2dr in the garage for 20 years and picked away at it when time and money permit. Now retired and have the time. My car had a 223 in it but is now a 466 big block backed up with a C6/E40D combo, with a 350 posi rear. I am at the point of exterior body work and final assembly. Hope to contribute as well as learn.

Welcome to the forum...   I'm sure that you are going to tell us what a 466 is.  We will be looking for some pictures of your custom 300. Jay

As with the others, Welcome to the Forum.  Retirement is "greatly under rated," but, it does make it harder to scrape up funds to do some of the things that should have been done when still gainfully employed.  Guess you just can't have everything.

That was my first thought, but without doing the math I was thinking a cleanup rebore would have brought it up more than 6cu. in's..but your probably right.

Is southwestern Ontario Windsor?  OP said 460 with C6.  Yep, thats all you get with .030 bore is six cubes.

Julios57

Thanks for all the replys. Yep a 460 bored .030 will give you 466. I live just outside London Ontario for the member who asked. Also I went back to work 3 days a week after retirement just to fund the toys. Wife has other ideas as to where the extra funds should go. HA

Sorry. Forgot to ask what the process is to post pics. I have an android phone and a digital camera, just need the instructions. I am also a beginner at computer stuff. :canada:
