With the expenses of an aluminum block or even iron no sense stopping at 502.

You want to talk serious on an aluminum BB money no object,
dart has some forged billet aluminum blocks, take your choice
standard 4.840 bore center or 5.000 or 5.200, solid aluminum or with water jackets, raised cam location, custom deck height options, custom lifter demensions and locations, custom head bolt patterns, steel or optional aluminum main caps, just let them know what you want. all we need is some J-Leno money to play with.

You make a valid point.

Although as I continue to mod the 355. I can carry more parts over to the 434.
