Interesting post...

There was an article a while back on building a mega hp "whale motor" for nostalgia racing...

Can't find it though. I beleieve they said the +40 bottom end was good to go, but I am sure that wasn't with as big of a stroke as your planning...

What would concern me is what rpm are you going to max out at...With the stroke you are planning, my thought is the cylinder wall on the thrust side will have to take the greatest load...And that is where I think things get interesting.

Me, if it were my engine, Pro-Gram billets would be in it again...But if you want a better opinion, call my engine builder as he has assembled a number of these early Hemi's.
