:cool:
But I'm wondering how many runs you could expect to get out of it. And how much $$$ would be required to keep it properly cared for and fed?

I don't suppose that qualifies as a hi-rise intake does it? :eek:

That's a definite beast. My next one will be in that neighborhood, but I don't think I'll go as large. Pretty unstreetable. You can use a monster block Merlin & safely go up to about 700 CI. With a twin turbo or the dual Whipple I have now that would be good for at least 2,500 HP or so....

Re: Anybody lookin for a REALLY big block!!!!!!????? (X-FireChance)
It's all relative. If I was building a Chevette with 150 HP, 2,500 would be a HUGE deal. Since I've already put together a system capable of close to 2,000 at higher boost, an extra 500 HP isn't that big a deal. Finding a way to use this much power, well - that's another story...

Yeah, I guess everything is realative. Altough to be honest I'd happily settle for an engine halfway between yours and the 150 HP Chevette. That still puts me well over 1,000.

Re: Anybody lookin for a REALLY big block!!!!!!????? (Glock'94)
I have the perfect solution for the front suspension problems, I just started a company that manufactures bushings for just such an application. They are made with a new type of material never before used in suspension applications, it's called concrete. For the stiffest ride possible use my Concrete bushings! :jester
