Default 540 cu. in. whadyall think about this one ?

It looks like a good beginning to easy N/A 10's to me ? Just add matching JE pistons/solid roller cam/heads of choice and go

Bill, If you want a track only BBC long block I can hook you up... It's a 440 BBC (454 block .060 over with a 427 crank) but it currently has dome pistons. Has heads and a Schneider solid roller cam. Ran 11.00's at 120ish in a big chevelle. Only needs roller rockers, a carb, and a oil pump and pick up to fit the new pan that it has. Only looking for $1450 out of it to get it out of the garage. Cheaper and local

If you don't pick up Cory's that one is a good price. Block is worth what he is asking

Well Bill, you need to find SOME way to keep up with all these FAST Lxx motors!





Seriously that looks like a pretty good price. And it has a lot more potential than your 468.

Cory that's positively CHEAP for that engine. If I were looking for anything like track only I'd be camped on your front doorstep I'm really looking to keep it a fairly mild streetable setup that will blow Mark's ca ......... I mean that will run a decent # such as low low 11's/high 10's N/A. What heads do you have on that engine ?

yeah Brian your car IS pretty impressive. I could increase my displacement to 540 cu. in. and then you'd just turn your boost up ! It's not fair Turbo's are way cool IMO.
