Stage 1 Edelbrock Heads, Blue Thunder Med Rise Intake, 750 Holley, fairly mild hydralic roller cam and 10 - 1 pistons. Cast Pond block. He has suggested the 482 bore. Thanks.  |
Unless the displacement is limited by some sanctioned race body you intend to compete in, I say do what you want. My suggestion would be to examine all available bore/stroke/rod/crank options and pick one that has a good rod ratio, a bore that is not to the max of the blocks ability for future boring needs, and that uses the most common parts. Good luck.
