I have to agree with Keith. The available wedge FE heads will not adequately support 600 cubes in any case, and the package would be pretty near to impossible with OE bore spacing.

The only reason I am doing the 4.75 stroke deal is because the customer wanted to do it. It's a very unusual combination with custom rods and everything else. No idea how its gonna run - the EMC stuff has taught me not to make strong comments about what will or will not work. Damn motors cannot read.

I do not think Robert has made any of the CGI blocks yet - although Keith is far better positioned than I am to report on that.

I have been directly involved in exactly ONE FE wedge engine that has gone over 900 horsepower. I think my 527 Cammer would go there pretty easily - it cleared 870 at 7000 RPM on a short dyno session with only basic tuning - but that's a Cammer with a ton of work.
