Re: 572 big block
I had a 572 in my Chevelle at one point but, after a fairly catastrophic failure (broke two rods, which came out through the oil pan) I had to start over.
Currently running a 555 cu in bowtie block (naturally aspirated). We dropped the cubic inches down a bit but allowed the compression ratio to sneak up (13.2:1) and better heads more than made up for the difference. K

Had a short stroke 572 (4.25x4.630) in my race boat.
