We had a 5" bore space 738" motor for sale for like mmmmm 5 years before it sold at a discounted price to a NSS racer....




That doesn't surprise me in the least. The big inch motors fit into a more specialized arena, so to speak.

As far as having plain old cast Mopar blocks to bolt parts on, you already have that. You can buy Indy blocks all day long. once you fix any machining errors you're good to go. They'll handle 1500-2000 HP, what more do you want?
I'm not sure why some people thing casting blocks is such an easy and inexpensive thing to do, because it's not. Just look at how many have tried and failed. One thing is for sure, I'm never going to go down that pothole filled road.
