Iron Big Banger V8

[GrannyNova]

I am looking forward to building this engine since my late 396ci coughed it up years ago due to some crappy parts.

Then I built a 501ci BBC out of a tall deck block, 454 pistons, and a custom 4.3in crank and it was a torque monster that out gunned out 540ci.

So now I have the 540ci in my 1978 Nova and I am about to venture back to the world of a short stroke big block and slide my 396's crank into the 540's block with the same pistons and put a set of 6.6in rods to make up for the lost stroke.

The end result should be a very rev happy 475ci big block that kinda resembles the old McLaren Can-Am race cars of the 60s and 70s just minus the aluminum block.
