I THINK the 502 has a forged bottom end Dave. And yes, the 454 can be punched out and taken to 496 inches but that about does it. The 502 is a different block and can be taken out beyond that (not sure how far though, I think at least 540). My only point was that if money is not a consideration then the 502 would give him more room to grow down the road.
