I just pulled off my heads on my 455 olds. Come to find out that it is .60 over with sleevs. I have another one I ws going to rebuild that is .30 over. My question is do I rebuild the block that is .60 over or the .30 over. The block that is .60 over has a frozen cam. I will be taking it to the machine shop this week to see if they can save it. They both need a cam,rings and bearings. What do you guys think???

Sounds like you have two potential anchors... time to switch over to Bow-tie power. Sorry, just had to be the first one in an Olds thread to suggest it.

Jordy Jordy I cant wait untill I get my boat back in the water. I just wanna sit on the beach at saguaro and open a cold drink and talk about my roooooooooosssssttteeerrr!!! I know I have 2 anchors now but I know I will have one hell of a rooster. I am going bigger on my wedges. I have a 5 and 6 degree but I am switching to a 6 and a 6!! I wont race you in this boat but I will race you when my 454 BIG BLOCK CHEVY is ready for my other hull. For some odd ass reason Jordy I loike you. Maybe its because we grew up in the same area!!

What's all this race talk? I don't race people in my slow jet boat... 50 mph won't get me anywhere when it comes to racing.

If it already is sleeved, I`d go with the 60 bore. Sleeves can be replaced. 15 yrs ago, sleeves were a scary thing, not anymore!
Gotta love those bench racing fags!

That makes me feel even better. I just hope I can save it because the cam is frozen to the bearings. You can still see some bearing left in it though. Would I have to get oversized cam bearings?

How's the bore look in the .030 block? I wouldn't want to screw around with blue cam bores.

Oversized cam bearings? No, let a shop look at it. It could be almost broken meaning broken camshaft (warped if you will). The most important thing is to let a machine shop do the work. Line bore, etc. If there is a lot of rust in the cylinders, it may not be able to clean up with a bore.
