496 is small in my class. most run 540/555/598/ and some have 632cid. hell, one guy has a 512 with a D-2R procharger(1800hp). i can find fully built motors all day long. just was hoping somebody had something laying around and out of the sport or something like it. thanks anyway.

Re: 496 Stroker

the bad thing about that is they stress the motors sell them for about $3,000 less and build a new one so you end up with a stressed motor
