Myself I'm looking for a street strip car. I have a new never used early 4 .375 bore Indy aluminim block, along with a Callies 4.5 crank and Manley Pro rods with 2.2 rod journals. Also have a set of fully ported Mopar aluminim heads. Not sure which direction on intake, possible 871 blower. Getting ideas from the guys on here. Looking into 800 HP level. Would be easy with blower, don't know with a Mopar crossram I have laying around. 93 pump gas or E85 fuel. Any ideas would be helpful.
If you already have the parts then use them. 800 hp shouldn't be a problem with good heads and a big cam. Might not be super friendly for street driving though, especially with a cross ram. The only problem with the 4.50 stroke for a street engine is that you'll have to use an external oil system. The external oil systems tend to leak and/or lose prime so they can be a hassle in a street car.
