Ive gotten some great responses on my stroker question i posted a few days ago. I was wondering if anyone on the board uses or know someone who has used a 470 kit in there 400 low deck. Indy is having a sale on these completely assembled for 2100 bucks! I just wanna know if there any good. You guys are the best. Thanks for the help!

I paid right at $4000 for mine with bushed lifter galleys and good bottom parts. Went a best of 10.48 at 129 with Indy EZ heads in a 3300 lb car. I like Mine

Great feedback! How much block clearance was involved? Also, I just got off the phone with indy. 1495 for rotating assembly. Not a bad deal at all but they sure are lacking in the customer service department! I will spend the extra 400 and go with muscle motors kit. Just cause my car dont say superstock or my name isnt warren johnson they dont have time for me!

If you consider all the factors in building a performance engine, And plan on using a std port cylinder head. The 470 is THE best combo out there for stock port opening heads. Light bob weight, big bore, good amount of stroke/cubes, ideal "all purpose" rod ratio make this a very good kit. These combos typically work better than they "should" because it is a well balanced combination FOR stock port sized cylinder heads.
I am in 100% agreement with Mike. Although many people get all wrapped up in 'bigger is better", I still think the 470 motor is hands down one of the best for the buck, and many off the shelf parts are available now as well for it. 451" ranks right up there, and of course the 493 and 511's are probably next on my list of simple but overachievable combos.

I agree, the 451 and 470 combos are just awesome for the price. When I was running high 9's with an Eddy headed 451 and 590 purpleshaft cam I use to laugh at all the 500" Indy headed roller motors running low 10's. Now I have one of those 500" turds but it's finally starting to come around now with a 9.82. I just think the 500" 440-1 motors need alot of compression to really make them work and I don't have the cam or compression to really make it fly.
I think a 470" motor with a real good set of Victors or EZ's or whatever and a 590 purpleshaft can easily go high 9's and not break the bank, also very streetable and reliable.

Is anyone making off the shelf pistons for the 470 using a 6.385 rod? I have a nice set of Crower rods but after looking at a bunch of different piston manufactures I don't see anything listed. It looks like most of the kits now use a longer rod.
After looking at an Indy advertisement they show their 470 kit using 6.385 rods, but I have not called them to see if they stock that piston.
Wiseco I think has them.That is the same combo in the Duster.I got them from Indy years ago.
