Yeah the old square peg in the round hole game...
Although there are some guys running around with the Arao 32v pushrod head. That would be bad ***... I'd love to see one in person.

Just look at what the Lingenfelter ones make NA... Insane. Plus you can rev it up super high. But... Lots of $$

For the cost of installing one much less the purchase price you could make insane power with an LT1. Word is Tim Allen spent 6 figures on putting an LT5 in his Impala SS(94-96), a crate LT5 is something like $25K, then add 4 cams (custom blanks) to that price if you want to mod it. For just the cost of the engine and new cams you could setup a whole car and build a TT383 and tranny to hold it that would blow the LT5 away. Think about it the 405HP WAS impressive as stated way back in 93, today a ZO6 makes that single cam pushrod and the next single cam pushrod ZO6 will eclipse that number comfortably, heck you can get that power out of a heads/cam stock bottom LT1. It is a cool motor just not worth dealing with unless you want BLING and have DEEP pockets.
