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; http://cmengines.com/Engines/RaceEngines/tabid/98/Default.aspxMy Demon runs 11:50s @ 115mph w/ 4:56 koni ladder rear w/ the 383. I want to run in the mid 10s. Thoughts??? Don

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.
Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!
