AND you can get everything in the aftermarket including aluminum & iron blocks, iron blocks can go over 600ci too. Many heads are available and some flow 400+ cfm out of the box. Yep, alot has changed over the last ten years. If you notice (surprised no one commented about it) the "ford like" intake on the 505ci motor, those heads flow 375cfm at .700" as cast.

That is pretty cool. I guess my 4.8L from an '04 Chevy Truck into my '95 V6 Firebird isn't as unique
