No, we are all blue collar guys and can’t afford that high dollar stuff.

No disrespect meant at all to Alan Johnson, but they didn't exactly reinvent the wheel with the 481X. It's basically a Billet version of a Big Chief with the cam raised and pushrod moved around to improve valvetrain geometry. It has a standard 4.840" BBC bore spacing, and uses a BBC crank, with optimized bearing sizes, an 8 bolt Hemi flange. The block height is 10.4" and they are a 4.5" bore engine, so they've aren't some huge bore, stretched block monster that many assume them to be. The center 3 mains are crossbolted and the block design honestly looks just like a shiny Big Chief block.

They are great engines no doubt, but they are honestly an improved version of a tried and true design that has been around quite a while.
