yep i hear you ...i am down to 5 core blocks two are 4 bolts . just pull one out for resale line bored it and decked it before the cold weather hit will be alot like what he looking for speed pro hyper piston 10to1 scat 7/16 I rod s.Scat cast steel crank .i done many of the 489/496 in last few years . but last summer more 4.500 crank stuff . i just sconic check a 454 block today at the shop going to take it to the hilt. not my idea were i done this for this customer short fill and large bore low buck stuff .i doing a old bowtie 10.200 block that needed caps and i used the howards . look very much like the pro gram caps? price is good . if you do not mind PM me on the caps your using . i can get new china caps thru many of my suppliers but was worried about if the carbon was low in them like it needs to be and how they fininsh? guys have told me some caps you can not cut and if you can end up with a ratty fininsh ? all the steel caps i cut so far cut very nice all were dart .world or program .GM

i think ill take your advice and go up the 30+ more cubes. and go with the longer rods as you recommended.
im trying to learn as well as build something good thats going to produce great power. thats why i joined up here. so pat im all ears.

summit does still ship to ca with no problem, i called them n asked. ca does not have any regulations on pre 75 vehicles. anything after 75 then yes there are smog laws n other things like that. other wise im free to build what i want and stab it in the 69 firebird.

pat........above you recommended some rods, are those i beam or h beam? im going with your recomendation. im going to get a 4.250 steel crank with the 4.385 rods in order to build a 489/496.

I think you mean 6.385 rods---------


I have in stock Calles Compstar steel 4.250 crank and 6.385 rods if your interested in a price send me a PM

i would go with a cast steel crank#ca945420 cut for a 6.135 rod s I have one in stock . go with the Scat I beam rods# cr6136 Speed Pro hyper in 060 over#h603p-60 10.6 with a 119 cc head or h552p-60 9.31 with a 119 chamber head . Compstar stuff is nice and i am dealer for them as well but if this is a budget engine??? just the cost of the Comp star forged 4340 steel crank would be the cost of the Scat cast steel crank and rods.call me if you want 989-667-4071 to talk more in depth about this builld as i built many 6.135 long rod 496s and 6.385 rods engines. the add cost of the 1/16 ring pack and the 4340 crank and race H bearings will take this build past your budget?? as the bearings and rings are double the cost as well as the forged steel crank over what i listed

cant seem to locate those part numbers on those pistons.
