3mm will get you two things:
cylinders walls too thin for big power even if they will hold up to normal compression levels and
an engine you have to sleeve or scrap if it ever needed to be rebuilt

The structural integrity is a big issue that I am aware of...
Mostly a thought experiment we had, since there is a 2.1 stroker kit for the 4G64, and this is the all-out "toy" build.
Anyone have a dead block and a sawzall?

There is no replacement for displacement, and reciprocating mass only comes with the territory. Some of your 2000+ big block drag engines have ~5" bores. Tell me that's a light piston.

Going 35, rear end slid out while turning off a tight roundabout (spare tire was out, nothing was in the back hatch, less than a gallon of fuel, damp road), overcoreected and hit right curb with right rear tire, bent the lower control arm, went over left curb into median, saw tree, threw it right as hard as I could to miss tree, hit tree on passanger side marker light, slid up the tree like a ramp.
That's as much as I can say for sure, the exact moment of the flip is a bit of a blur.
The only damage is to the roof, the front pass side where the tree hit, and the top surface of the hood.
Hatch is fully intact, and the worst damage is on the pass side front of the roof.
I got a small scrape on one of the knucles on my left hand, can't remember which one, while looking for my phone on the windshield surface.
I'm genuinely perplexed with how everythig after the collision with the tree played out, I'll have to look the car over more thourghly and note direction of paint scratches and dirt marks.

Know what pisses me off the most about the entire thing?
The day before, around the same time, I got a flat tire in the same spot on the roundabout.
Bought a set of four Falken ZE912's.
They had under 60 miles on them before the wreck.
They're still good, but the rims are bent to hell so I can't use them for squat till I get a set of rims...
