Quote: I've always thought a low deck, short stroke hemi with a long rod and a light piston would be fun to build with a big set of twins hanging off the front of it.
I thought of a 472 or 451 hemi-headed low deck for my 68 Formula S, but the intake & headers were the limiting factors. The 400's a strong block & w/a stud girdle & aftermarket caps, should be able to take mucho power. Would probably save 50 lbs or so over the 440 block. I remember Eric sent me an email last yr & w/ rocker gear, I think the bill was slightly over $5K.
