I am planning for my next ERA Cobra build and will go with a SO block (mainly for resale value). The 482s are the rage right now, but I want a car that can drive in city traffic or cruise on the highway and start when I get there.

The car will be cruised mostly and I will use a TKO600. I don't have any plans to track this car. Rear end gear will be determined by the cam, but something in the 3.31 range.

I was thinking about a 4.25 bore x 3.98 stroke; Scat stroker kit; Edelbrock heads; Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with about 500 hp. My plan is to buy the parts from Survival motorsports and assemble myself or maybe have them do the short block.

The short question is a 482 too much engine for the street?
