7000 not a big deal for the bottom end if you keep a eye on parts valve train is the biggy . try some thing new ? well for you but your taking about a engine thats been built from 1965 what ever you think of its been done .there is no if i could i done it many time its more if you can find someone or yourself could. its not to big of a deal like said its the cost. i been building bbc for many years and using two bolt blocks the 511 to 496 has nothing to do with the main caps. i put many street/strip 496 together with a 454 two bolt block and had one customer used a two bolt 454IV block to 496 in a pull truck were he had it for over five years of pulling with just ARP studs in the two bolt mains. first time he built it last time i did caps did not move this engine was making steam up to 7500 every pull .i have done over 40 of the 4.250 9.800 deck builds its not much of a deal. but you still need to know what the hell your doing better have more then just a few builds under your belt . even after building 100s of engines the brain drop in to Neutral so a build like this takes time it not like baking cookies
