he picked the victors for down the road potential,and is doing some of his own mild port work,valve job ect.we talked about having them cnc ported but he thinks he doesnt have enough cam or comp at this point to make use of the extra flow.i tend to look at the increased low lift numbers.imo this...

The whole deal started out as a pro street dakota with a blown 505,the kid put a combo together that i thought would push a stock block and he wanted something more on the race side of things.he soon decided to get a block and be safe and have room to grow if it started seeing more track.he...

my 505 has rpm heads and a .566/.588lift 251/259@50 cam and i was told by a few builders should make 575-600,i guess i figured 540 with better heads and bigger cam would do better then that.

Well after a lot of calling around my buddy found a world aluminum block.nobody else seemed to have anything.so he gave it some thought and changed gears and is going 572ci NA motor.anyone have experience with these blocks?

Who makes a good one and does anyone stock them?building a 4.25 stroke blower motor.
