That is flywheel hp. With right combo you can pretty easily beat that by 25-50hp and still have some manners.

Also look at a ported FAST 92/92 or at least just the FAST to help it breath up top or look at a vic Jr if your really gonna twist it Those heads can move some air and you will need to feed them. You will need a 255 Walbro or similiar pump too + fuel rails along with some 42lb. injector or similiar. 2" headers too if you can get them. The Katech rod bolt advice was good if you can find a set and wanna spin 7k+ safely.

What kind of tranny and gross weight are we talking here????

Damn this thread got my mind rolling and i'm kinda excited

Wish I had done something like this before I got married and had kids...At least I fixed the married part

Keep us posted on this build
