bore is 4.250 454 block or 427. and any crank 366/427 is 3.760 crank will make a 427 you need 427 pistons and any big block rod for a low buck build would be a stock 6.135 long rodQuote:

i would say away from the KB for this build i feel better with the speed pro s or a srp pistonQuote:

yes it will see some race useage bu tlike i said be more like 60 % street 40% race and remember 500 mile road trips or more:D
I have seen to many of the KB pistons just lift the tops off just above the top ring land.Quote:

so it can be done for 3500 or less, thats awesome.
I would say it can be done for $3,500 with a solid lift cam but if you go mech. roller or hyd. roller or add the SRP pistons I would say you would be closer to $3,800 and as much as $4,000.Quote:

just a good build to pop off low 12's mid 11's would be perfectly fine. id run a solid cam yes. because it still ahs to be somewhat streetable to drive from spokane to the coast :D
now ive just gotta learn to not buzz them 7500? :LOL:
Yes,I am thinking more like 6,200 to 6,300 rpms.Quote:

Yes,using a 3.73 gear and a 4-speed with a 496 low deck,solid lift cam, a low 12 sec. pass is done very easily if you can get enough traction.Quote:

fenderwell headers anyway :D clearance for the motor and exhaust will not be a problem at all either. now what about the hipo 396 wasnt there a 425 horse version :D
