Is this block over bored

By jaysuper
- Sat Dec 05, 2009 10:06 pm #160163 I'm going to buy a d16z6 block off of this guy it has a 20,000 bore on the block this seems like a lot to me for an aluminum block. I had planned on putting a turbo on the setup since I'm also buying turbo manifold off the same person. will this block stand up to the boost?

What do you mean by vitaras.. the Suzuki? I'm a little confused. :headscratch:
