Street pricing should be between 2000 and 2500. We are trying our best to keep the price down.

Nearly all Gen III and Gen IV parts will fit. However, it requires Gen IV style cam sensing.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that 2000 HP is what the block can take, not what it is expected to make. At least outside of the sponsored races...

Could be wrong. Just speculating.

well, W2W got a worked over iron block up to 1500hp, and that was with like 370ci, so i can see a block designed for very high HP could take 2000 with the right work and setup

Between the extra bore wall thickness, and the 6-bolts per cylinder, this new block will handle significantly more boost than the W2W project engine.
