I am planning on a small shot, I really didn't care for it after I frost bit a motor awhile back but I figured just a little bit can't hurt lol. The Victor heads haven't been touched yet and what I'm Gathering from here that it's a much for my motor so I my just clean them up some. I will look into IMM and see what Brian thinks.As far as the girdle I was just nervous about the block breaking so I actually bought that first before the block lol, thanks for your input and experience, you guys already been there and done that so I live the info. Would it be better if I went to a little bigger bore to utilize that has a little better ?

I have built engines with the Victors, RPM and Trick Flow heads. If you are going to run untouched Victor heads you are wasting your money. It would almost be better to run an untouched Edelbrock RPM head. It is really hard to put too much cylinder head on a 500ci wedge and the Victors need a tremendous amount of work to make them even a good head. Andy has made some really good 470/400 builds with the OOTB Trick Flow heads and we have even made 750+ HP with a 451/400 on pump gas with well ported Edelbrock RPM heads.
