is anyone planning on doing this set up?

 

noone?

 

I haven't seen any pricing on everything that is needed for this engine yet. Give it till after the first of the year, then they will start showing up in cars.

 

well im able to get them full assembled from ERL and ive been told its 12,500 for a complete short block.....

 

mALLET IS BUILDING ONE FOR A SATURN SKY WITH FORCED INDUCTION

 

where can you get it?

 

From what I've heard, Race-prep in Bermuda Dunes, CA (right outside of Palm Springs) is the only shop doing it in the western US... don't know other than that. From what I've HEARD, the whole setup with tuning and additonal fuel systems, it'll be in the range of $20k... but you'll be putting down about 750RWHP on 91 octane... I'd give em a call if you were interested... they're a sponsor ----->>>

 

from ERL preformance the people who made it.......

 

wow that sounds like a beast of a motor

 

I'm sure it will be but for some reason I just can't imagine a 500ci LS1... gonna be a beast once you just get it running... screw all the FI, nitrous, etc, etc, you can throw at it... jeebuz...!

 

I waned to try one out. I sent email to Raceprep. I received an initial figure of $30,000
for a currently stock vehicle.

I requested a quote, but I have not received one. Maybe it got spam filtered?
Maybe I'll just move that money into stocks.

Eeek... they said an estimated $21k a couple weeks ago when they first announced it in the Western Section... may've changed though

EDIT: This was including fuel system and tuning... but yah... lol who knows - just call em.

 

ouch you could make a regular LS1 do the same thing for 30k.

 

its 12,500 for an assembled short block..... thats what sean from ERL told me... if u guys need one i woudl be glad to get u one.... i own a small shop in Del.....

 

30k is right for the whole she-bang installed.

I would rather upgrade regular motor for 30k

 

you could make a stock motor as fast as that for 15k!

 

and how do u figure? the biggest u can go is a 455 on an ls1........ how are u gonna make up for 45 cu in?..... with out a power adder b/c u can do power adders to both.......always remember there is no replacement for displacement

 

RacePrep followed up with me this morning. I really should have just called them to check in.

A big inch motor will be costly. I ran a 5.7L buildup to 9.81/136mph on spray
3 years ago for about $4200. Then I ran a 402ci buildup to 9.77 on motor
2 years ago for about $12,000(sponsored motor).

A first-or-its-kind 500 inch motor and supporting parts sounds like it should cost about $30,000. The 427 re-sleeved long blocks I looked at not too long
ago were in the range of $15,000+.

I have a good car that is already setup to perform with the power for a
500inch motor, but I will wait and see how these come out.

Being first IS expensive, but it's well worth it when it is all worked out.
