521 bbf

Hi Im new here, and I have a question. I have a '77 460 stroked out to 521 and I need to know what spark plugs to use. I started with a Motorcraft SP-420 which becoming hard to get. What is the next plug you would recommend? It make about 625 HP.

Your build is more than what most have done. What compression is it running? My go to answer would be autolite 45’s, but you may be needing something better than the usual coppers.

Do you have an upgraded/updated ignition system?
