I've read a hundred times on this site that never used the term "Big Block", that it is a Chevy term. But there it is - "Engine Type: 385 Series Big Block". Interesting.

If the 572 Chevy is 15k the Ford will be 15k or so too.

I also caught that. More interesting to me was that this was built with off-the-shelf parts, and subject to change. They could sell them thru Summit and Jeg's.
