Thread: Need suggestions on a Bigsmall block?

Tweet

Truck is not a daily driver,but would like too take it on a 2hour drive besides hamering it at the drag strip The truck (frame)is being built to MY specs, right now.Its a street/strip build.
Ok now , I am going to need a big cubic inch small block?Or ,Is it cheaper to do a big block?

472/500 c.i.d. Cadillac

the parts for the big small will cost the same. i would run a big block chevy

I like the big block idea too ,and I have a set of close chamber oval heads.I think I can sell these and with a little more cash buy a set of aluminum rectangal port.You think a stroked big block would be ok?468 maybe.I want something that will really rev.Thanks

use them O ports with some work and go to 4 1/4 stroke or 4 3/8 this will give you a496 or511 at a 0.060 bore and spend the money on a roller cam. that you would on the heads it will rpm but the more rpm is just hard on stuff

Sounds good ,let me investigate this a little more.So this cast heads will be fine with a little work then?Do you think siamese bores are neccesary?

no the older big block will take the bore and the o ports will work good .just work on the Tq not on hp and if you drive it will work good i have bulit some of the 489 and 496 and they work good and there is a lot of parts out there that will get the job done and not cost a arm and a leg

I wont quote you on this ,but just too get a idea of cost whats the average 496 cost?Thanks

Is this a good deal?

I don't mind paying a little more for a better part.What do I need for a block.Theres a few different variations of the big block.What should I stay away from?I need a block asap ,I will be ready to set the placement of the engine in the frame.
