Ordered a Superformance Cobra, trying to make some decisions.

Hey Brent,

FWIW can you set RK and myself straight.

What parts won't be salvigable for a subsequent upgrade to a 482 "IF" one was to decide to make that jump after running their 445 stoker for a little while.

Everything would swap over except for pistons and rings. Consumables would be needed of course...bearings, seals, gaskets.

If there was a big jump in displacement, the cam would probably need to be changed.
