Dave you make it sound like its hard to do. The Indy head makes good power and with proper machine work and a solid combination you are there. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.605850896137264.1073741836.135175363204822&type=3This engine did cost appox 24,000 that included the new R3 block and a Callies crank, Compstar rods, CP pistons And T&D rockers. We used his 4150 carb and Vac pump. VP C-12 fuel was used and the heads were CNC ported at Indy and no other work was done to them. Why did you go with a 59 degree motor

The odds of getting into territory the 59* can't handle with an indy 245 is SLIMMMM
Nobody remembers the old 59* W9 stock suspension dart with one kit that was running 5.1X 10 years ago with big wheel stands killing some ET!? That car proved to me that 90% of us would be totally fine with 59* blocks.
Shame nobody else noticed I failed to mention that issue with the "X" and "R1" and evidently some of the "R3's" could be had with 59* LBA's. I had forgotten about the "R3's". The real issue with the 59* LBA is net valve lift and RPM potential. I ran my 59* stuff to 8500 plus but it was nightmare. And I always felt I could use way more lift that I was using (net .750). As far as durability the blocks are pretty much the same.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Small blocks are fun but it's so much cheaper, dependable, and longer lasting to run 8's with a big block

I agree but a bb should run them numbers without blinking an eye...and imo it's not a challenge. I have friends with stock block sb chevys in the 7 sec zone...Yes Stock block 23* and to me it's different and exciting response to Pittsburghs post.

Oh don't get me wrong, I like a good challenge but I also like doing it on a budget. My stock block 360 with edelbrock heads will probably be in the 9.50's (@ 2800 pounds) this year with nothing fancy in it. But my 512 will be in the 8's at 2800 pounds and I only have about 7500-8000 dollars invested including my mega block
