Todd,

If you want it to fit in your ERA, stay with an FE. I believe a 429/460 would require new foot boxes and the like. I don't think 550hp would be tough to get out of your 428. It would probably only require about 10.5:1 compression, some nicely ported Edelbrock heads, and a hydraulic roller cam. That should easily put you over 500hp and probably right about 550.
