Your ford 300 straight six is bored 30 over what cubic inch would this engine be?

A stock Ford 300 straight-six has a displacement of 299.7 cubic inches. A .030" overbore increases the cylinder bore diameter. To calculate the new displacement, we need the original bore and stroke.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the exact bore and stroke for a Ford 300. You'll need to look that up in a repair manual or online specifications for your specific engine. Once you have the original bore and stroke:

1. Calculate the new bore: Add 0.060" (twice the overbore amount, since the bore diameter increases on both sides) to the original bore.

2. Calculate the new displacement: Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (πr²h) multiplied by the number of cylinders (6). 'r' is the radius (half the bore), and 'h' is the stroke. Do this calculation with the *new* bore you calculated in step 1.

Then you'll have the cubic inch displacement of your bored-out Ford 300.
