Kinda like the 496 that 440 source sells. 4.310 bored 383 block using there 4.250 crank


Heads, cam, intake, headers make the power so you have to pick the parts you are going to use before you can predict the power. 500 hp is easy with a 500 inch shortblock. If you want 600 hp then you should use Trick Flow 240 heads and pick a cam that will hold power a little longer. If you want 700 hp then you need to move up to a MW head like the TF 270 or an Indy EZ head. You'll also need a bigger solid roller cam and a good intake, correct headers and the correct carb.
