How about a 427 with the works. 650 rwhp 650 rwtq N/A is going to be expensive.
Good luck. Lots of cam, high flowing heads, and exhast with a great tune.
Lou Gigliotti's 2006 ZO6 is making 623 rwhp and 535 rwtq give or take. Not quite enough for what you want but all he has is the G7X4 cam that he designed, Lg Pro long tube headers, and an amazing tune. He daily drives it as well. Hope that gets you started. Again good luck.

422, sheet metal intake, custom solid roller cam, very light rods, 11* heads, etc....
You could reach that goal of ~ 650 rwhp but that much in trq will be a bit hard.

Im located in Omaha, and ill tell you there is not any local place that can build that. If your serious about building a motor send it out somewhere. It may be alittle more for shipping but ill tell you local shops arnt the best, and i wouldnt trust them with my LS1. You might be able to find a guy(non-shop) to build it for you. Just be sure you trust him
