G'day, Im new to your forum and enjoy the info greatly. I would like advice on a new big block for my 57 Chev. I have just removed the old LS7 and ready to start on something big and scary. It dose need to run on 98 octane and go out crusing. Im thinking around 540/ 572, maybe blown. I'll get a local guy to build it. What block is best? Dart or World. Tall deck or stick with standard. What stroke and bore would you guys run for good torque. I have older Big Brodey aluminium heads so I'll probably run them. Primarys are 2.25" and 4" collectors. Id like to be in the 700 hp club. What do you think.
Drive line is T400 with 4000 stall. 9" 35 spline with 4.56 and 29" tyres.
Its raining in Sydney town tonight.
