Just rambling....

Makes sense to me. It's called a "budget build" and it's all I could really afford to do anyway. I love seeing engine dyno charts and different engine comparisons.
I'll bet that this 500" stroker you're talking about would do just fine until about 4700 RPM.

I'm all about "bang-for-the-buck". I'd actually love to see a 500" motor with stock externals.....HP exhaust manifolds, 906 heads....and see how it does on a dyno and when it "falls off".
