I started My project as a 496, 4.25" stroker crank and longer rods in my gen 5 454 and decided that $500.00 more for the added cubes and gen 6 block was worth it .He has the gen4 setup, fuel pump etc. I assume ,so the cost would be even more .Gen 4 502 blocks or Bowtie blocks that can bored to 4.500 are rare!
