I had a W8 engine almost finished, it was just getting too costly and I really wanted to go R5/P7 anyway. Rick Liuzzo helped me out a bunch with the deal.
The combo was:
9.0" Deck Block
4.125" bore
3.25" Bryant Crank
15:1 JE Piston by Rebco
Groden Aluminium Rods
W8 13 degree by CFE
CFE Sheet metal intake
Single 1050 Dominator
Weber Belt drive
Jesel Front drive Distributor
Jesel 1.75/1.6:1 Mohawk rockers
Comp 60mm Roller 0.488" lobe, 275 @ 0.050" on a 110 l/s
Moroso 5 Stage Pan with an AutoVerdi 6 Stage Pump

With that lobe separation the peak RPM would have been around 8800RPM. When Rick and I first started talking the combo out he was talking more around a 113-115 l/s that would have seen the tacho shoot to around 9000-9500RPM. I didn't see myself being able to afford the Valve Spring bill for the year, so it was toned down a little.

The heads were decent, but weren't a maxed out Pro Stock Truck head, so the engine would have made low 800's at best.
