LT4 1.6 rockers
Vortec Heads 11.5:1 compression & ported by Glenn 2.06& 1.78 BBC valves, would that work?
Single plane vortec manifold
4150 Holley carb (from a BBC) tuned by me!

450hp ish?

Wrong cam-- the 70 to 72 LT1 cam is smog issued. Use the 346 30 30 cam that be 64 to 65 Vette fuelie or 67 to 69 Z/28.

I prefer the 400 bore of 4.125. Gives the valves a little more room to breath.

I will post my engine when I have more time. But, I'll give you this-- it will be a FORD engine and in the 429 to 460 ci range.

If you would prefer a small block then --money is an issue-- it would be a Chevy. If money is not an issue then world be 351 Cleveland followed by a 351 Windsor.

The reason the 2 bolt is stronger than the 4 bolt is the out side main bolts on the 4 bolt (because of the larger mains) go into the water jackets--making them prone to cracking at the threads.

I think I'd take a pontiac small block and bore it out to 468ci

My Ford entry.

351W with 10:1
Z Cam part number M-6250-Z303
1.7 Cobra (Crane) roller rockers
Z Heads part number M-6049-Z304D
Single plane M-9424-V351
4150 Holley carb from a 427

It should make about 500hp at 6500 and around 475tq at 5000.

There is no such thing as a Pontiac small block.

Sure there is, it's also been referred to as a chevy small block. You could bore out a 400sbc and use pistons from some other Chevy, although I think all of the big block pistons would be waaay too big for this. You'd be into the water jackets and the pistons would be overlapping eachother.

Can't think of a stock sb crank with more than a 3.75 stroke.

Hey kids, why don't you start putting some real world current prices on these bits.
