So far we have had good luck with the 4.250" stroke and have been building them well before FRPP started them. If you do not want that much stroke you could always go the 4.170" route and be around 450ci. The Big block engines are definitely more bang for the buck if starting from scratch. A rotating assembly and notching a block would be much cheaper since you already have the sbf parts. Also consider the loss of rear percentage and added torque, will be a little hard to get it to the ground down low.

Keith built the motor in my current car back in 2004. It was built for the original owner and is still running strong after some things were sorted on the car. I like the Rpms but the cam isn't so great on the street....it has good street manners but it's just pretty lazy below 4K. The cam is .576 lift with 252/262 duration with 112 LSA installed at zero degrees with dyno showing peak power of 592hp at 6900. You guys also helped the owner source the 2" primary size headers back in the day. I've been told the 2" headers are too big but I've also been told to keep them....what is your opinion? You guys also built my friends 445 Windsor using a very similar hydraulic cam but at 108 LSA and it's right at 600hp or a bit over....he is using 3:46 gears compared to my 3:31 but that thing flys. Thanks for the heads up on the Brodix heads.... My build receipt shows trax1 but I didn't know any additional info Congrats on the acquisition of the business.
