Your budget must be quite a bit more than the average state worker.. lol Sounds like a awesome motor. I know zero about small blocks except they come in 273 318 340 and 360.. I was hoping for a budget build.. HA

You can do it. I've only heard of about 1100 HP living - 950 HP to the tires with stock block. Your talking 500 more than that!
