Plenty of aftermarket cast v8 blocks will do that and much more. Finding a chassis that can handle the potential of it is more of a chore. Billet blocks are $$$$$$
Time for a group-buy! lol. Everybody is going LS these days but I want to stay Buick V6. Not sure what my goals are yet with this next build, but putting the smack down on the newest Z06 vette and Viper is on the list.
The vipers have all forged internals, too many cylinders, the largest rear tire patch of any production car, and they rev a lot higher now. If someone like Hennessy makes a turbo kit for those, it'll be a game changer in the super car world.
I've owned a 2006 and a 2008 and I believe they used powdered-metal connecting rods, at least for a number of years. Maybe the newest model is all forged... I hope so because they couldn't be pushed much past 800HP or else they'd go BOOM.
Considering I paid about $2700 for my even fire your probably right on.
The 4 inch bore and the weight savings. Plus the 14 bolt cylinder head pattern is nice too. My neighbor has a GT500 and runs 10.70's at 132mph on straight 93, still using the factory supercharger. I'd at least like to be able to beat that. My current combo only has managed 125 trap and 132 ain't gonna happen unless I run alky or race and 28 psi. I tried running race last year but didn't have any luck with it. The engine hated it and wouldn't run smoothly. After 4900 rpm it would start breaking up. I'm gonna have Don Cruz build my next short block. I will go with his cam recommendations. It could be a solid roller deal, but i'll let him decide. I'd like to see 9's on pump gas.
