new motor ideas block help

do you plan on max porting the -1's you have or buy another set?
if you're going to get new heads get the 572's or heads with some big *** valves.
go with an aluminum low deck block. if going 540" get 4.500" sleeves put in it and it'll be 100-125lbs lighter than steel.
4.375" x 4.250" with aluminum rods and the short pistons will be about as light as it can get.
with that 4.56 gear you will most likely need a very tall slick with you hotrod being so light.


hey bob hows it going ....yea thinking of getting the heads I have done max port...yea the aluminum block is a must....a buddy down the road offer a 493b1 motor up ..I plan to go check it out and see whats the specs on it...he said he went 8xx in the 1/4 in his Daytona but health is forcing him to get out of racing...but I think id like to start from a new block and work from there....just getting some ideas and looking at prices ...
