I am moving up to a 124 CI and do not want to bore the stock cases, Therefore, I am in the market for quality aftermarket case.
4.375 crank, 4.625x4.250 will be the basic set up.
Any recommendations? PM me if necessary.

I would watch how big you go with bore,because of the sealing surface.Not much meat there to seal cases.Call Ron Dickey at Axtell ,or Dan Baisley, & see what they would recommend.I don't think Axtell would recommend going that big on the bore,but I could be wrong!!!

I will be doing the 4.2550 bore. As to why i am not interested in boring my stock cases, I've heard of too many horror stories about bored stock cases seeping.
I do not want to take that chance. Furthermore, if i get aftermarket cases now, should want to go bigger later on, i have room to build. I do believe however the 124 will be enough.
Have you had any problems?

I would use the Jims or R&R or S&S I also I have sold 124 kits cylinders and Wisceo pistons, to other shops with theese combo no problems......

Now I would not do this size with a blower...... you will have head gaskets problems..... even if you try to
