I completely understand on the FE they are definitely but the 460 based engine is great power for the money. Just keep in mind from a traction standpoint that it will make killer torque as well as drop the rear percentage of the car, definitely no issue blowing the tires loose. The 514ci is built using a stock 460 block (4.440" Bore x 4.140" Stroke). The 572ci engine uses the Ford Motorsport A460 Block (4.500" Bore x 4.500" Stroke). We do not use a cookie cutter camshaft on our engines. Will get all the car specs, your plans for drivability, idle characteristics, etc. As you know the actual specs for the 572 will be different than the 514. We usually stay around 10:1 with the 460 engine that are planning to run pump fuel. The larger the bore size the more the engine will try to detonate. If you are looking for a ridiculous kick in the pants and do not mind really getting up on the wheel and driving, either of these engines would be killer.

Thanks
