There's a thread or two with guys building big blocks right now.. I'd say start by reading what they are doing (or need to do) and learn from their experience(s). 500 HP isn't real hard to do with the right parts and machining.. and aluminum heads will allow you to raise your compression a point or two. And they can handle a good bit of NOS.... what's the car it'll go in?


check out this thread.. should have some good info that you're going to need to at least consider! And check out our Engine Forum..
