ok im just doing a lil window shoping and research right now . looking for a solid 1000rwhp capable iron 408 short block .. already have the turbo(s91) .

what kind of internals would be needed for my goals ? trying to stay away form some of the cheaper products , my budget is about 5-6k for a bare short block .

people that are making 1000rwhp who built the short block and how much was spent on it ?

anyone running my projected goals on a tsp 408 ?

will be ready to place a order in the the next month or so venders convince me !

 

Call up HKE, VaSpeed, Katech, etc...

 

We can set you up with an HKE precision built 408 to suit your needs. Give me a call or pm me and I'll call you. I work with Erik very closely to spec out and build what you need. Weighing part cost with application very carefully to give the customer the best engine for their money.

 

Question...what kind of crank power do you think a Iron 408, with ported truck heads, truck manifold reversed, LS2 intake, ported TB, E85 gas (105 octane), and big single (like a S91 or so) could make. Assuming a big hyd. cam, something that could be put into a street/race car (like a Camaro or mustang with PG tranny and 9 in rear)?????????

 

call the guys who are putting vetts over 1000 rwhp...call carmen at the vette dr's and ron at vengeance...they have done it time after time with no issues.

 

Here is a 383 with that turbo on it.

LME!
Diamond/Wiseco/JE pistons, Callies rods and crank.

 

Plus one LME

 

would a lsx iron block 454 be worth it for my hp goals ? im selling 2 other project cars and i figure i might as well go big .. lol

 

Bigger is always better IMHO. You could do a nice 434 and slap that turbo on it ! $6610 for our LSX 434 and we've got a few LSX blocks in stock right now

 

Don't need a big cam by any means. Over 1,000 RWHP with that set-up.


.

 

We could take care of that too, if you would like call anytime.

 

can the ls3 block handle that power ?

 

If were any closer

www.victoryracingengines.com

plenty of options available on our site.

 

Why is the 441ci short block $9,000?

Is that the GM LSX iron or a resleeved aluminum?


.

 

the last two we did were iron, and the only explanation I can offer as to the price is that, that is what the owner dictated we are to charge for that specific package.

# GM LSx 4.125" Bore Block
# Callies Magnum 4.125" Stroke Crankshaft
# Callies Compstar 6.125" Forged Rods
# Custom Diamond Pistons
# Total Seal AP Series Rings
# Clevitte H-Series Bearings
# ARP Main Studs
# Internally Balanced Rotating Assembly
# Professionally Assembled and Blue Printed

 

I can say slim to none on a TSP 408 putting out 1000 rwhp. I have a tsp 408 and besides the rings not seating right I put down shy over 430 rwhp NA. Same top end on a local 408 build guy put down 480 rwhp.

 

You made 430 RWHP with how much boost?
