Quote: I was looking at that for a while and talked to muscle motors about it. The 451 (400 block with a 440 crank) makes good power and is cheapest to build, assuming you have good used parts. The 472 (or something close to that) was the best bang for the buck. The 500 needs a lot of mods and external oiling, but is a beast. I've dealt with MM a few times and found them both helpful and experienced. Good luck, keep us up on it. Wish you were closer to WV I could get you started with my abandoned parts stash.
Tell me what you have. Maybe we can work on something.
