The 527ci Cammer is the one I want to hear about. That's a build, I could see myself doing in the future. That's why I was asking on another thread about max ci's for Pond and Shelby blocks.

I'll be sure to cover that one then.

The displacement will depend on whether you want an aluminum block, cast iron block, and whether you want to donate extra cash to a custom crankshaft.

The Shelby blocks come in two flavors, small bore and big bore. They are only offered in aluminum, and the big bore block will go up to the 4.375-4.400 range.

Pond aluminum blocks will go to a max of 4.310.

Pond cast iron blocks will go to a max of 4.400.

RPM crankshafts offer a forged crank with a 4.375 stroke. I think you can go a tad bit longer on the stroke since there's not a pesky camshaft for the connecting rods to bump into, but if you wanted to go that route, it would be a custom piece from Scat or another manufacturer.

With off the shelf parts, you have the potential for a 532 inch engine.
