272 bored to 292

Hitting on all eight cylinders Group: Forum Members Last Active: 10 Years Ago Posts: 5, Visits: 32	Hello. I own a 1955 Victoria with her original 272 Y-Block. The engine is getting tired, so I´m starting to think about a complete rebuild. 272 pistons are impossible to find here in Argentina, but I can easily find 292 pistons, because the F100 was produced with that engine here. The question is: Is it possible / advisable to bore the 272 block to standard 292 pistons? Does anyone tried this? Thanks a lot for your help. Kind regards. Augusto.
