I'm thinking of replacing my 383 steel head motor in my Demon race car with a 512 motor. CME advertises a 675hp 13;1 Edlebrock head motor for $7299 long block.. Has anybody used one? Any good?? Here's the web page;

My Demon runs 11:50s @ 115mph w/ 4:56 koni ladder rear w/ the 383. I want to run in the mid 10s.
Thoughts???

Is there long block made from a low deck 400 motor or 440 RB block?The reason I'm asking is the distributor and intake manifold issues, they don't interchange

I have a fresh one that makes close to 900hp and runs very low 9s. -1s on it - all motor. Mine is not CME, but rather Muscle Motors.

The parts list they offer sounds like low budget
stuff. They say new blocks on the high end stuff.
So a 512 Mopar on the dyno makes 675 HP and has a
new block?

If your going to spend $7300 on a long block, I
would buy the parts yourself and have a good shop
check everything over. I sure the heck would not
run a TRW piston in a 13 to 1 motor. JE yes not
TRW.
