Wow, the 224 engines aren't even that old. I want to know how you 'wore it out'.

Welcome to the forum in any event!

The 224 uses the same bore 70 mm. as the 212. It gets its extra displacement by having a longer stroke. If you bored your block out to 74mm. It is probably ruined. OMB Warehouse sells rods pistons ect. Every hop up part you could want for this engine. I know this because I have built two of the 224's and bought everything from them. I don't know where you came up with 74mm.

Does 'bored out to 74mm" mean he will have destroyed the 'iron' bore?

I have no idea. But the next size up in small blocks is 72mm. I've also heard of some custom re-sleeved engines at 3 inches.. But those are like 76.98 mm. Have never heard of a 74mm piston. Hope he just made a typo.
