Thats what I am saying. Steve's 505 has heads that would be considered by anyone reading this thread, to be WAAAY to big at 370cc on a 505 "street" engine, but, it is still out of control
Now, like I said, I am one for totaly overdoing it, and, if you want to build a 582 then do it. I was just trying to point a few things out to him is all. In that chassis, unless its really set up well, and you use sticky tires, it still won;t hook on the street, short of being tubbed. And, can be dangerous to boot. I also gave that advise, because if you build an engine like that, put small heads on it, and a way to small cam, it will peak power early, and quit. If you ran a 2.73 gear, and a tight converter, it could work I suppose, but that will kill performance too, making it not worth building that combo. Note: These are my opinions, based from expierience, I am sure some of you disagree with my thought processes. Which is fine. I just don;t see the point of building an engine like that and running no gear, and a tight converter, to kill tq multiplication, of an engine you built, to make big tq. Doesn;t make sense to me. I would rather build something a bit smaller. Heck, even a nice 496 with big block would be absolutely killer in that thing, even a 461 with 048's, or 781's, and a mild solid cam would be.
