Ah, I was wrong. Reckless from W2W posted it up.

The price is also impressive @ $6800 bucks.

that was pretty cool to watch...I bet the price of that thing is a rapist.

And for $6800, Ill have a forged 370 iron setup with fully done heads with enough change left over to spend someplace else!

Damn, that wasn't necessary. We're talking big cubes here, not 370cubes. Money isn't an option unlike some of us.

Some 408s+ motors are $4k and others are $15k+. Believe it or not, there's a difference.

No, I think you might of had a bug up your *** and took it the wrong way.
I simply stated MY OPINION of what I would do, or what can be done with $6800 (which is at LEAST a 1k capable shortblock)...I think MOST would agree that UNLESS youre shooting for REALLY big (say 1500hp+) numbers or you just have it to spend, a big billet block is'nt really necessary...Look at the boosted list as proof. I didnt mean to imply anything with my statement and if you took it the wrong way, sorry for 'ya!

Once again awesome vid, I enjoyed watching it.

Rofl no bug in my ***.

It has nothing to do with taking it the wrong way. These people know what can be done already. Look at their sigs. That's like the monkey who responded in the stereo section about not having big speakers because it makes the car slower. So what, everyone's aware of that. If there's nothing to contribute, why do damn people even post?

BTW, same thing applies to turbo setups too. They vary from $4k-$20k.

you are right...why are we posting...who are we...why are we here. j/k

seriously though, I'd buy a billet block before I would do a C5R block...I just have a hard time trying to justify the price. Im sure it would be worth it, especially in a situation where putting up big numbers reliably is a must.

Trust me, Ive installed turbo systems from flipped Ford manifolds to the latest "ricer kit" and I must say, quality is key and the key aint cheap.

I've been reading about some lsx blocks being released. $2k for bare block. It's got me waiting now. NO after market heads, etc really ready to take advantage of the things to come. A local shop mentioned it to me. So I'm waiting to see what comes of it. I've heard we are able to get 500ci out of it. I'd be interested to see what the market does.

Really, $6800 bucks isn't bad for what you're getting. Top notch block no doubt.
