500+ci Builder

Maybe you should read my post again. I have no desire to "Play with the Big Boys" and can't see how you are reading that. I now have two builders that say they can build within my budget, maybe they are more reasonable with their labor and machining costs than others. Glad that I made this post as it is attracting some builders. One or two more and I should have enough comparisons to make a selection.

I think many people would consider a 500+ inch motor as playing with the big boys. Technically speaking I do not know a lot about big blocks and big inch motors. I do know that in order for this motor to run to its full potential your more then likely going to spend more then 8500. I'm not saying it's impossible I'm just saying you could have a 500 inch motor that doesn't run that great for 8500 or you could have a smaller motor that is a monster for 8500.
