700hp 493 build specs thoughts

I’m getting ready to re-assemble my 400/499 kit. That being said, the 400/512 kits are generally a better way to go. More CD on the piston. Plus I like the smaller Chevy rods. Rod ratio on those kits is still ok, same as a 454 Chevy. I sure wouldn’t bother with a 499 kit anymore, it would be 470 or 512. I think you may be able to get trick on the 499’s and get a better CD but they are not sold as a kit. Atleast as far as I know. 440-1 would be my head choice. Your cam specs look like Andy F’s 470 cam? If so I actually run that cam in a 512. It has pretty wild ramps, wouldn’t recommend it for a lot of street use. Of course I’ve been driving mine around.. lol
