572 STREET/STRIP HEMI QUESTIONS?

Havent posted here for awhile..but my W8 small block is going byebye..looking to get into something with a lot less maint and hassel at the track but still have some good power.

Looking at building 572 inch Hemi.I want to run E-85 something in the 850 to 900hp range with little street duty.I called Barton and priced the StageV big valve heads and the SR.On the block they recommended the cast world block..they said it was hit and miss on the aluminum.I would rather run the aluminum for the weight savings,but the Indy max block would work just don't know much about them.

Would like to know any thoughts good or bad anybody with similar combos?I am going to run the Barton shaft rockers and his Intake for sure.

Thanks

I built a all aluminum roots blowned(10:71 BDS blower ) KB street Hemi block(thier dry sleeves ) 499 C.I. (4.375x4.375)with a set of Dart cast aluminum water cooled heads, it had a EFI on a bug catcher hat, it made a little over 1100 HP on race gas with 17 lbs of boost . I built another smaller ,484 C.I., 4.250 bore x 4.375 stroke)C.I. blown street hemi motor with a new cast iron block with a set of Stage V ported, not big ports, aluminum heads and a 10:71 Littlefield blower with a pair of Carb. Shop Dominator blower carbs, it made 925 HP on CA pump gas at 7 lbs of boost and 1025 HP on 110 octane race gas with 12 lbs of boost I would buy another set of the Stage V heads and a KB Street Hemi block if you insist on using a a aluminum block for your build BTW, I like cast iron or Compact Graphite Iron blocks for my N/A builds

Built a 528 with Indy Maxx block and the 426-1 Legend heads. Fought the block the entire way, pushrods rubbing in the valley and oil drain back was horrible. A little porting on the OOTB heads and she did make 775 HP on 91 octane.

Tell Ray to hook ya up with a KB block and Millennium heads.

I will sell you one of my 700hp pump gas engines, so I can pick this one up:
