500Caddy- DJV8JA- thanks for the web info. Both made me realize that anything dealing with CUP engines is way out of our league.

Eric,
I am sure you are correct about the overbore of our current 400 block.
I have been looking at the Dart blocks but I gotta say at 3k for a bare block????
I really don't know what we'll do yet, It might be the better part of valor, or at least common sense, to rebuild what we have already. After all we are only going to continue running the super classes and brackets. It is not like we want to step up to anything real fast. Consistiency is our bread and butter, so to do something really far out is not worth it except as an ego trip and the "OOOH" factor.
Thanks a bunch for the reality check.
John
The Dart blocks are not $3,000.
I have been charging my customers a little more than $2,200 and this is fully machined with cam bearings and freeze plugs installed.
If you want even better consistiency and hp build a big block and turn it less rpm's and run a moderate mech. roller cam in it.
