The cost of building a stroker that can far exceed the stock blocks is easier and cheaper to do than it has been in years the guy that built my wedge is doing 440 to 512 cubic inch small blocks on alcohol making close to 1000 hp naturally aspirated but he also does the pump gas 400-440 small blocks that make 800 hp naturally aspirated its not a matter of buying the most expensive parts out there it's just a matter of sitting down and thinking wat u really want I just happened to not want enough and he easily delivered that and more

I have been considering this motor for many months. I feel comfortable that I have researched performance levels and inventoried costs to believe that what I outlined in the original post is doable within the cost limits I set. If not I would have not placed that constraint. As I said in my original post, some of the problems I'm experiencing is over building and the usage of premium parts. Of course that's not a fault but it won't make budget. The only real concern that most builders have expressed is the hyd cam and vacuum requirements, most want to use rollers and I can't blame them. Maybe I need to lighten up on the vacuum, idle, and stall. But we will see. I know these guys can do it but they just want a little more elbow room.
