Noticed there are no casting numbers "listed" for bbc engines that are larger than the 502 cu.in.
Is that an incomplete list?.......or...... is the 502 engine a platform for all larger bored engines?....such as a 572

Thanks for that explanation....That's how little I know about engines in general..now if I can get those casting #'s I'll know for sure if I have 540's or 572's

http://flagshipengine.com/ only built Hi Po engines from GM blocks...my issue is, are they 540's
or 572's?...........the son of the owner swears they're 540's yet the dyno sheet says 575's which totally
confuses me.......even if I find the casting #'s off the blocks ...would that even identfy what cu. in. engines
I now have in the boat?
