It looks like a cross between a G3 and LS lol
I know nobody cares but maybe Fiat will respond to this?
But I'm thinking that the current G3 BGE casting would not support a big bore. It would need a total redesign.
Crate engine starts at 7,800.00 IIRC


The hemi valve arrangement don't need as big a bore as a wedge to flow the same amount of air, they could easily extend the 392 deck a half inch and stroke to 4.0 and bore to 4.125 to get close enough and make it industrial kind of sturdy, make the displacement come out to 426. This taller deck configuration would also allow even longer intake runners for more TQ and with existing BGE heads make plenty of power to compete with the ferd. Small bore long stroke is also a better way to get past emissions.
