Bill - welcome and good luck with your selection.
First - there are hundreds of posts on this subject for your reference. Check out the search function. Another gentleman posted the same last week. Second - are you committed to a BB? If so I would get the max you can afford...however, above 600hp, IMO, has dimminishing returns for the street. Many guys are happy with the 485hp version. I have the 565hp version. Plenty of power. I've have not heard about any problems with crate motors to speak of. Understand the warrantee is limited (90 days) compared to a customer (usually 1yr). The 460 block fits nicely..but tight. Be prepared to change a couple of the spark plugs from underneath. If you are not committed to BB, many guys are very happy with stroked SBs. Any questions, yell. Jeff SPF 186 |
