[quote=Clanton][quote=BradH]What's the budget for this effort?
12 to 15,000$ I would think
I dont really have a budget, I was hoping for 10-12K for the engine or so plus whatever power adder I go with.
For the record, building a 572 or an after market block was never in any of my plans.
I'd run a Late Hemi with a turbo. Stock block and forged crank will hold 1000 HP w/o issue. Stock heads are very good. aftermarket piston/rod for boost. Use a knock off Drag Pac intake. 20 psi should get it easy. Doug
This is friends Dart. Since the article he has had to make quite a few upgrades as he bent the Dana 60 and the bars holding it in the car! As I recall he's been 8.20's.
It's a very mild setup and he drives it all over Wichita.
I have another local friend that parts SRT-8 cars with the 6.1 and an early A-body 'Cuda with this engine and a turbo will be my next project.
