The 511 or 512 inch that "440 Jim" and
others build on here seem to do real well and do
not need extra cost added. Is there really a lot
to gain adding 16 inches?
Just one way to look at it. I'm sure others
have a different way to look at it.



Well, I have a late block and its been sonic checked and all seems fine - no signicicant core shift, etc.. I already have the external oil system so that's no additional cost. So its just a matter of determining if there's a good reason not to go the extra cubes. Brandon at 440Source says there should be no issue with the compression height of the 528 combo.

If, given the same combo of parts, a 512 made more torque and hp than a 528 then that would be a good reason !!!
