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.

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 ----->>>

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.

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.
