Any 59* 700 hp combos around, whats it take to do? Is there a point of no return on the 59* block?



Both W2Stroker and DiegoTed have near 700HP engines we built a couple of years ago.
Ted's made 678 and Martin's made 685.
4" cranks, 59° R blocks, 13:1, roller cams, one had Indy cnc -2 heads the other my ported Batten W2 heads, Indy intakes and 1050 dominators.
No special ring stack, no vacume pumps or other trick parts. Both used an 1 7/8 header.
The cams were NOS cams, so there was a little HP left on the table but probably only 20Hp maybe?

Both engines were built with RELIABILITY in mind and not pushed hard to make HP.
