Been thinking of putting a spare short block togather myself using a 400 block we have down at the shop. We currently race a pump gas RB 512 with a Hughes girdle, and what a beast...33" tall tires and a 4.56 gear leaving at 1900, shifting at 6400...9.97 and there is more left in it.

What's interesting is we had 4.88 gears, and switched to 4.56's and the 60ft remained the same, and yet, overall, the car went faster...TORQUE is KING!
