You can buy spacers to run a 460 intake on it. Go figure.

My brother and I had a 472 we stuffed in a '70 highboy. It had 130,000 miles on it and not even a hint of a lip at the top of the cylinder. The blocks had a really high nickel content.

You know it was a 472 that powered the fastest gasoline powered vehicle right?
