so some guy at a friends shop was bullshiting with us the other day and tried to tell me that some aftermarket company has come out with a kit that you can make a 572 out of a 400 small block...
now i havnt looked into it. but as far as i know thats just not possible.
has anybody else heard this BS? or was i talking to an idot?

Total BS. There is no way to make an engine that big on a Gen I small block platform.

The most I've seen out of any small block was 500cid out of an LS1 mod. nothing bigger than that.

its a test to see just how much you will believe.. worthless pranks...
i in the past have had people leaning over the fender asking loads of questions... when they ask what that was in the end of the heater hose coming out of the water pump was... (a spark plug) i told him not to tell... but it was part of the hidden nitrous system... but don't tell any body... soon.. he had his 3 buddys over and were all looking at the spark plug in the end of the heater hose..
when i finish a car.. and have it sitting there idling ... i sometimes reach into my tool box.. pull out some odd part from another job... and say... where does this ***
another trick... since when i go junk yarding.. i always pick up extra screws from removed dash boards and other fastener that i might have a use for at a later time... i have more than once... thrown in a few matching screws on the floor board of another techs job.. watching them start to take it all apart trying to figure out where all the screw fit... is great.. but when they start scratching their head.. i pick them up... i don't want them to waste their time... more than a minute or so...
sending people to the parts store for water pumps for corvairs... spray cans of prop wash... left handed phillips screw drivers...
(((prop wash is the wind behind a propeller airplane when the engine is running..))) jet wash ... which is harder to find at the local autoparts store ... is the HOT EXHAUST stream from the noisy end of a jet engine...

i've seen a service writer sell valve adjustments on rx-7's (rotary engine...reed valves)
same guy tried to sell coolant flush on an early VW bug
and then there's metric crescent wrenches

I recently read a story where one of the big name engine builders is doing a 505ci. i believe based on a Dart tall deck.
