Been working on Fords 4 ever. Want to make a 502 from a 454, 1988 Chevy trk engine. Engine W/B Centrifugical Supercharged W/mid 8-9 Comp ratio... What crank dimension/size etc do I need. Am aware of steel VS cast etc.. Also what about the stocks heads. Prob depends on size of dish. Should I use them or go to Aluminum? I think I know the answer, but just not familiar w/the GM BB stockers . Thanks in advance
