It might not be a 557 , but I bet it spanks a few 557's

got good piston clearance KY ..I just checked it

Does it have a cam or you using yours?

flat top or dome?

Its my short block 466 has my top secret cam , and pistons with knots on the top.

OHH! not that old knotty motor

Guys, Dan gave you a clue,,,,it's the old "School Bus" engine. It's kinda' like the nursery rhyme; the little engine that could.

Is a school bus engine as powerful as a well pump engine?Like that Les made famous. If they are I know where there's some at

Probably about twice as powerful as Les's well pump motors. I think it went high 5.50's and mostly 5.60's in Randy's car.
