Offsetting bores

Do any of you knowledgeable folk know if its possible to place the bores 79mm center to center from each other on a large bore block? Either by offset boring or playing about with sleeves? Ideally I'd like to use a maximum of +40 piston.

Any help would be great. Thanks

I've no idea of the pitch, sorry, but had mine moved .015" outwards.

Remember that a .040" over bore is only .020" each side of the hole, so either you don't have to offset, or just go a little bit bigger to do the offset.
