472 Cubic Inch Small Block Chevy
Some of you will be interested in knowing that there is a pump gas 472 small block that makes 635 horsepower and 630 foot lbs of torque and it is a crate engine. I would have one with an aluminum block...now that would be amazing. Huge power in a lightweight package would put a big smile on my face

They have a high dollar race 472 that makes 950 horsepower on race gas. This is some very cool stuff.

I dont know how to find it on the web site but the catologue of theirs that i have has 355's to 622's CI. It looks like the biggest small block is a 496 that puts out 575 hp with alum heads. It doesnt quite specify a whole lot, you would have to call them. If you want the number its 904-783-9393 they are in jacksonville fl. Pretty cool stuff.

I know some company makes a 454 small block. Yes, 454 small block. Not sure on power output, but they dont recommend power adders for obvious reasons.
Seriously, a BBC in a C4 seems like a ton of work only to make the car even more front heavy than it already is. I say buy and resell the big block to fund a rebuild of the small block.

A small block 454 with 600hp sounds nice!
