Where's the Time Bomb emoticon?
How about some weight and ET's? You might be fine, some of those blocks are quite stout but stock caps? You'll post some pictures when it comes apart won't you?
FWIW, I have a '76 block that will take a lot of bore if I wanted to and have been thinking about a similar displacement with a shorter stroke. I'd stop well short of 700 HP though.

My new combo only has 9 runs on it. But the tracks open tomarrow . It's a 541ci (4.375 bore X 4.5 stroke) in a 77 440 block. I guess you can say I don't agree with the hype around here . It's just a 345CnC -1 headed, ultradyne .680/.280. Bla bla bla.

These experts would hate for me to tell you it's mostly 440source stuff with stock caps lmao

it does have GRP rods though
