LOL that would be good - of course a 351M is a big time headsratcher as it is.

Yeah I'm thinking my 478M with offset ground journals (2.811 down to 2.375 plus 3.86 stock stroke = 4.3" stroke) will net me a 538 when bored .030" over. While it might be able to go bigger, the fact that we are shoving all the air through 6 smallish ports (compared to 8 large ports on most big blocks) will just mean the bigger we go, the more low end we have with out much top end benefit.

I'm thinking that 450 to 500 HP and 700+ ft lbs of torque won't take too much to get out of a properly setup 538.
