[QUOTE="FordFanStan, post: 7430741, member: 24501"] I haven't spoke with JL about it, but to my knowledge that 400ci. has never been ran to date. That setup would use a 4.415" stroke and a 3.800" bore. We haven't tried anything over 3.7xx" due to the fact there is not much between the cylinders after that point, and even then we use a [I]solid[/I] hardened steel alloy liner/sleeve to help with the lack of material. Remember Dante build the first modulars using the Darton wet sleeves (3.700" bore) back in 2002 I think it was, and at the time the limited amount of produts and parts available and design, it just would not work. He finally got the sleeves movement under control, but then there were always gasket issues. He sent specs and a design and some old gaksets to SCE and had them deisgn a custom copper gasket, now which eventually progressed into what is now known as the SCE Titan copper gakset.
