Dont deal direct with Indy... call Bob George Racing
(he is a member here) and talk with him about the
engine and build
Do not go thru Indy for a purchase like that. I can tell you from experience...Go thru BG as Mr P explained. Give him your goals and go from there.
I have an Indy Headed Hemi, its only 484 cubes, and the heads need a little to keep up with a set of ported StageV heads, but its all $$$...Mine flow 400cfm ported by me, and a good set of V's flow 420cfm...I am not too upset about that. Another thing to think about is are you ever going to go with T&D/Barton rockers...Some Indy Hemi heads they won't fit like mine, so you have to go with Indy rockers or Stage V....
Other things to consider...Indy Hemi 426-1 heads make the engine 1.5" wider than a standard Hemi..I cannot speak for the Hipo heads, never seen a set. The chamber on the Indy head is smaller, so you need to watch your compression if your going pump gas. Also, the 426-1 heads are heavy. They have cast in rocker stands...
Other things to consider, lighter rotating assemblies that use 2.2 rod journals, and lighter weight .990 pins, and long rods, typically the 7.1" are lighter as well with the 2.2 journals...Standard stroker cranks will add more reciprocating weight, so go lighter if you can. A lot more fun.
I have considered selling mine as I want to move up to a 604 and see what that is like, but for now, I will just keep beating the heck out of this one..
