Not saying it can't be done, but it doesn't seem to be real popular due to space limitations. These are a pretty long engine.

You also don't want to believe all the hype about the the 472/500 being only 50 Lbs heavier than a 1st gen SBC.....it's actually a bit over 100 LBS (Stock to Stock).

As a pretty much stock motor I really like the 500 in my EL Camino. The down side is if you really want to play with it and get the HP and Torque numbers up it starts getting real expensive and kind of defeats the purpose of using the 500 as a low buck (relatively speaking) big inch engine.
