IIRC, Silva's bullet was built on an AMC block.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

Never heard of a 501 small block. I would love to see that article! Otherwise, IIRC, 472-ish is about it. You can grab a CID calf and enter the biggest bore and stroke combo you know of. Iggest bore I heard of is a 4.22 and stroke being 4.25. If there is bigger, I haven't heard/read it yet. Just did a quick search and found this. The 501" was a R3 Block that was CNC lightened and I believe had a 4.5" stroke Bryant crankshaft. Indy 360-1 heads also. Pump gas car that ran 9.70s. It was awesome. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/2197522/re-ron-silva-valiant-build.html

IIRC, BPE has a 4.5" arm for a stock block 360 that will go 440+".
