didn't smokey say there is no substitue for cubic inches?
my new mills are 598ci 4.625 str and 4.530 bore, i figure after a handful of rebuilds they will be square 4.625 X 4.625. im gonna rev then 6200 rpms. we'll see how well the 4 5/8 stroke holds up. :D

How do you tell if you have a lightweight block? What is wrong with it?
