    First I will have to guess this is for a 10.20/Tall deck block.
    Why settle for a 505 when you can have a 535 if it is a tall deck block.
    Competion Products use to have kits for both the 505 and the 535.
    I think it was a short block deal with a new OEM block, balanced,forged 4340 crank,forged h-beam rods,and Ross pistons,rings and bearings.
    If I remember you just check your clearance's and assemble.
    They use to sell for about 2,800$ plus shipping.
    I built one for a car in a tubbed camaro,AFR 305 heads,mech. roller cam.
    It made an $hit load of low end torque and was done by 6,500 rpms.
    I.M.O.,a great combo. for low end and mid range torque.4.350 bore X 4.5 inch stroke.

    the best deal for what hyper pistons I beam rods or H beam rods ? i do not think anyone make a piston in a 4.375 crank in hyper or are you thinking of boring one out to 4.350 with a 4.250 the better way to go is a 4.310 bore by 4.375=510 or a short fill with rock and a 4.350 bore and a 4.375 crank 520 cid every thing is a phone call a way or a tall deck 427 block with a 4.350 bore and a 4.500 crank 535 i have done the 4.310 by 4.500=525 also and used a set of edelbrock performer heads with a hyd roller cam for max TQ was all in under 6000 rpm

    Pat i was thinking of a forged balanced assembly of 4.350 bore and 4.250 stroke for 2 bolt mark iv block. i know nothing about block filler or benefits of it. and whichever rods you prefer. i think i want around 12.5:1 comp. as will use race fuel. don't want to turn too hard maybe 6000-6200 max in the mud
