la vs magnum

If I were wanting to build something that made 700 hp and cost was a concern I'd be looking into building a big block. A 470" b block with a good set of heads and a nice solid roller could get mighty close to 700. If you fell a little short a squirt of NOS would easily finish the job. I have to agree with YoungGun that 700 hp on the street in an A-body is crazy HP. A nice torquey 575-600 hp big block would be crazy fast and much more streetable IMHO
