Are there any/many RBs out there that are larger than 3L? ie, has anyone made an 'RB32det' or 'RB33' or something? Does an RB30 block have much allowance to be bored out any further?

There are locally made stroker cranks available but they aren't advertised packages from names that most people would recognise, nevertheless they are there. Once stroker kits start getting used in drag VLs expect to see a decent leap in mph, exciting stuff!!

Holden were thinking of boring them out for the VN but it would of left them with thin bore walls, considering the blocks started as 2.6l.
