its only a old r block i t should do the trick and that is n/a atm and not a full pull the engine will see 250 of gas but should handle more no use being greedy

This is a very similar to build to what I had dreamed of earlier this year. Then my dreams were absolutely crushed when I realized the pockets I needed to have. I can not wait to see a small block mopar out there getting it done with all the big blocks and high dollar turbo cars.

I am just glad someone is making it happen with a small block. My plan was a fordged rotating assembly some serious work done to the edelbrock heads and then spray it until it was around where yours is N/A. Then I realized that meant I had to spend almost as much on the transmission, rear end, and suspension to get it all to work.

Now I’m just going forged and slightly porter edelbrocks.

I only have a run of the mill LA block. I’m going to see how much I enjoy 500 hp for a while. If I really have the urge for more power then I’ll be in the market for a race block and hopefully I can just swap the rotating assembly over to it.
