The originator of the thread did not mention eye-appeal or wow-factor as his desired criteria. He was concerned about technical factors such as forced induction and rod-angle issues.
One of our machinists here at World has built his personal 385 to 557 inches. It has Blue Thunder heads and a single 4500 and puts his none-too-svelte '70 Mustang into the high 9's. It makes 740HP. He tells me it scales at 630 Lbs. as opposed to our 460 small block which weighs 525 Lbs.
Would you accept a "plump
child passenger"?
