Ok so lets make this fun.
What parts(combo) would you do.

I am going to keep the same heads(ZZ502 Aluminum)and the BG 830 carb.Everything else can be changed.

So lets hear it but lets not get crazy as I do have to keep some sort of budget

If it was 4.470 before, go 4.500, put a good set of rods in it, and work on the heads. I would go for something in the 9.5:1 range. Get some help on the cam and go.

I did a 22 Scarab with a mild 509 and it was a lot of fun. Had a customer put a blown 502 in one that was in 750HP range and he couldnt ever use the power.

I'm thinking some H beams and going back with the 10.1:1 and talk with RMbuilder about cams and go to a single plane intake. Not going to mess with any type of blower,dont have the room under the hatch anyway and i sure as hell aint redoing it again:cheers2:

crank is still up in the air.
