How did that motor work for you many problems?
Yep, used a Dart tall deck block with 18* heads. Needed a wide rail pan, and the only pans I could fine were drag race deep sump pans. Called Moroso and had them make me a road race pan...talk about a costly pan. A 450 inch small block using a tall deck is pretty straight forward without any clearance problems. Using a regular block makes the bores pretty thin to get those inches. I'm using a 4.125 inch stoke.
