I got a 468 and I dont see money for a Dart block in the near future.I was thinking of doing a 496 this way the only thing I would need is a rotator.Worthwhile? I got this 468 down to a 9.90 in good air and it is not a all out motor(12:1 GM crank eagle crank,rods etc.)

Build what you can afford to blow up, then go have fun.

Stock block, older brodix heads 8.50's at 159 mph out of a 468".
With better heads and a 496" I would have been much quicker.
You can run quick with a stock block, but it will have a fuse.
Mine lasted ~1000 pass' before I split the back off it.

9.36 at 145, 3200 lbs. Still havent played with timing or jet, and its a nitrous motor with a very agressive cam and 13.5 to 1 compressison

I havent sprayed mine yet. What do you think it will do with a 150 shot from a 9.92/134?

As long as the converter isnt too lose and you dont run out of gear, You can probably pick up 4-5 tenths.

Anybody fast w/ factory BBC?

depends on your definition of fast.

Ran a best of 10.07 with an 11:1 pump gas cast iron oval port headed 468 backed by a turbo400, 8" converter, 4.10 gear in a 3880lb. Chevelle launched off the footbrake and through a full exhaust.

Excuse my french,anybody going in the very low 9's to mid 8's with a stock block

 

[adrenaline customs]

Oh by the way that 9.36 was run on muscle no spray. I didnt mention that in my post. Looking to break into the 7's on 2 systems after I swap converter and gears

We've gone 7.90's with a stock chevy block, grout filled half way up, out to 477ci, stock crank and a 10/71 with bird on top. But as some one said, it has a fuse. Crank was munching bearings every two to three runs, had it cracked tested and found 6 cracks.

I can recall a local 3600 LB '72 Nova 10.5 car back in the mid-Nineties going 8.60's with a GM block and cast iron LS-6 cylinder heads on two stages of NOS. I was always really impressed with that and it obviously stayed in mind!
