See my comment above, the 049's are honestly probably better for a jet boat engine.

Ok I'll see if I can source any closer than Santa clarita...should have just bought a 502 to begin with

That's still an option!

You will get the most return parting out your existing engine parts.

Good luck,

Joe

Well decided to buy new dart cast heads, also bought some forged dome top pistons, forged rods and bought a forged 4"stroke crank. Didn't want to do a stroker crank because I would have to do more machine work. Now I'm searching for thru transom tubular header, and a eddlebrok Victor intake mani single plane. Only thing I'm keeping is carb and possibly headers... cam is to be determined once I decide on headers.

Arg, wish you would have checked with me first, most GM 4 bolt blocks have enough clearance for a 4.250" stroke crank with H beam rods, no problem. Once you are buying new stuff, cost is the same, but you gain cubic inches.

Really, not to late... but at the same time I'm getting a smoking deal on a forged 4"crank ($200)

OK, that's a good deal, but as I said, I put lots of them together, only one I had to do some grinding on was a 2 bolt block.

I'll look into stroker crank, but it's hard to pass up a 200 dollar forged crank... maybe I'll throw some nitrous on it to make up for non stroker

All things being equal, on a pump gas engine you may only see about 40 HP difference for the difference in cubic inches.

What crankshaft is it? Are the journals standard or undersized? Are they polished and ready to run?

Reason I ask is, you could probably turn a little profit to help finance your build.

Then throw the nitrous at it!

Good luck

Sounds like a nice build. I do hope you are not holding it back by limiting compression.

Too much compression and you have high operating expenses or risk rattling it to death. But it is no fun driving low compression pig.
