With the big bore possible with a Merlin or Dart block you can get about 520 cubic inches. Should be good for a few more hp. Leave room for an over bore, never know when you might need it.

yep, leave some extra room for future problems, although if I have any future probs I will probably get rid of it. I believe both blocks are capable of 4.65 max. More thoughts anyone?
