Don't remember who
 

Recently i browsed over an article where one of the major engine builders put togeather a 505ci small block i believe based on a Dart tall deck, anyone know who the builder is?

don't remember anyone building a 505, but I do know there are 482's running around.

I remember now
 

Was driving me nuts i could not remember who built the 500 plus cubic inch small blocks, well it turns out it's Sonny Leonad. Talked to one of the people at Sonny,s and he explained to me that Sonny had in fact built a 505 small block approx 10 years ago on a after market block. Recently he built a 524ci small block for a grudge racer but that engine was based on a block cut from a chunk of billet aluminum.

You can build a 511 right from Chevy.

4.25 bore by 4.5 stroke LSx block.

Cap it off with the GM LSX-DR heads and make 900 normally aspirated HP.

Here, if you prefer, same bore/stroke in a standard small block.

Apparently i must be stuck in yesteryear, i'm gonna have to get with the program.

Welcome back from your nap Mr. Van Winkle.

I wonder what it would cost to build that motor?? I priced the LS-7 heads and they were about 1900.00 each from GM assembled. What a awsome running engine it would be!

To do it right, and not use offshore rods/crank and other junk... I'd imagine in the 12-14k range.

Seen an ad in my new ND today that Dart is advertising their 500" small blocks.

You want inches?
CP offers the All Star 708 cid. Bore = 4.75 x 5.000 stoke with 8.00 Oliver rods. The bore spacing is 5.400 so 940cid is possible (5.100 x 5.75).
BBC bellhousing, exhaust and motor mount patterns.
Canfield aluminum heads, 2.400 intake valve, 2.00 exhaust valve with 2:1 shaft rockers and 1.725 roller springs.
Can you say "Oh yeah"????

And how much does that cost?? That way I can pick one up. :D

That's a small block??? :shock: :?

My home PC died, but I have a link saved to a 632 small block chevy. I'll try to find it and post it for you guys.

$48K Broken in and dyno sheet. 850HP and 900 FT Lbs torque naturally aspirated. At that price you should buy two! Dave

Anything under 600 inches is a small block. JMO... Dave :D
