I too saw that show yesterday :eek: Man I can't believe they're getting such large displacements in a small block package. They made slightly less than 700hp with it also with 23` heads. What a sweet setup :thumbs:

My engine builder has been running these 472 small blocks for a while. His 67 vette has run a best of 6.60 @ 213.. Look for it in the near future in corvette fever. Cam Benty- Editor saw it @ super chevy and shot a feature. Smokin Fast!

I see the SB 470 shortblocks on EBay all the time. I think they were $4600, but not sure.
This is a 421 from the same seller.

dart block, M2 CNC Brodix heads, 227cc (i think)
secret cam specs, but did say solid roller.
even w/ the aftermarket block, i believe they are at max bore size.

Re: 472" Small block, not a typo (HWoods)
I just saw the HP-TV dyno test on the 472 ci small block. Something like 672 hp and 600 something TQ.
I really wasn't paying attention to the tv. That other site with the even bigger motor sounds interesting.

Re: 472" Small block, not a typo (HWoods)
could be, i was just going by what i read on darts site, but that doesn't mean much. i could have the wrong part, they could be conservative, i'm not an expert, not enough info, too many variables. :cheers:
