I'll vote blue all day long. I love blue. Very beautiful.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wow, I missed that fact. Assuming all aluminum? Projected power? I'm assuming 825-850hp and 775-800 ft lbs. And I thought you broke parts on Penny. :lol:

Thank god most the pictures black then were black and white.:lmao: :lmao:

I never broke an engine on Penny.. just BS parts like PS pumps and sway bar ends..

No, iron block.. I'm not a baller like you.. But, lightweight internals and a shaft rocker system.. I'm doing it for my non-LS readers and because I just want to tinker with something different. Later I envision an LS swap.

Going conservative on the power.. 760ish hp and 750ish tq..

4.600 bore on a 4.375 stroke crank.. Lunati lightweight stuff.. targeted compression ratio of 10.7:1 .. new COMP four-lobe hyd cam and a T&D shaft rocker system.. hope to make peak power at 6400 and rev to just under 7000.. Haven't finished spec'ing out the cam yet.

Carb at first then a FAST EFI .. the new one that can support up to 1000 hp.

Love the color -- it's sure to make all the magazines... Well... at least one for sure. :D


It will also be interesting to read / hear about the true differences of running the weight on the nose and the comparisons to Penny / LS motor etc. It might just be that we'll learn there's not that big of a deal with an extra couple hundred pounds up there - or we might learn what it takes to overcome that - or maybe we'll find out that there's a myth being busted. Who knows -- but it for sure will make great fun to live with Steve thru this adventure!



:popcorn2: :thumbsup:

Thank you for doing a non-LS. :thumbsup:

With your cam/shaft rocker/rev plans, I bet you are easily over 800 hp with that thing. :guns:

And this thread had gotten off to such a good start...
