Get yourself a 5.7 and stroke a 6.4 crank to 3.79. cheaper with better parts.
IMO and this is just me 6.1 are overrated. Lots of core shift.
Stick with a 5.7 and stroke it.
If its for a street engine the early 5.7 heads are plenty to feed the additional cubes.

That doesn't help me with keeping my current motor intact.


Buy a 5.7 core, build it then swap it in.

Are people really having that hard of a time getting valve covers? I have thrown away a ton of them and still have 20 or so on the shelf, both aluminum and plastic ones. I save the best and throw away the others, didn't know they were hard to get.

Dave I don't think it's that they are hard to find , I think it's more of "where do I buy them and what years will work for me"
and then they hit Summit or Jegs and see that over priced Morso, or some of the Billet one on Ebay for $800+ go in to panic mode because there is not a lot of Info out there.


Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

How so? Affordability seems to be the big problem with G3 stuff. While impressive, $25-30k(??) is going the wrong way. Lol.


1000 h.p. for 25,000.00 ?
1000 reliable h.p. for 25,000 dollars is an absolute steal.
On pump premium and a smooth enough idle that you could run a.c. with it ?
This might show my age , but when I first started playing with cars , doing that with 500 h.p. was problematic.
This is an absolute bargain , and I can't afford one either.
