Mainly when researching this everyone says... "To much money to build", "machine costs to high" or "just get a 6.0 block" is a lot of people's answers. I called TSP & talked w/ them and the guy said they are starting to see more of them lately. Said finished N/A shouldn't have a problem turning 450+ hp and should be a torque monster. Now myself I mainly did it for a couple reasons (1) be different and (2) I had the block & pistons already I just needed some good rods... Local machine shop guru checked the block said there was plenty of meat in the cylinder walls for it.. bored it... afterwards he said same thing.
