Call up some sponsors. Most will be glad to talk to you about it. The stock crank should handle power in that range. So you just need pistons, rods, rod bolts, and a few smaller parts. You are likely looking at about 2500 without a crank, and with the Eagle crank down to about 700, you are looking at about 3200 with a forged crank. If you go forged on the crank, consider going with a 4" stroke to get a 402.

Thanks I was just curious. I am having a build done to just pull the LS2 and put in a L92 416ci build w/ a 200 shot for the strip. But w/ tranny build, rear end build, and all supporting mods it was pretty costly so I was looking at options. But by the time I buy a turbo system and forge the block or stroke it to run enough boost to reach the same numbers, I end up at the same price or higher. Guess I will stick with my original build. NA 520 rwhp all time with 200 on tap all in a forged motor should be enough to atleast keep up w/ my turboed buddies. LOL!
