LSx Valiant Build. Take a look inside...
Now I am gonna go ahead and just admit, I'm one of the guys who isn't into brand swapping....but each to his own. My question is what's the average cost to do this swap? I can't hardly see any cost savings myself.

For a price of $1030. Can use factory rockers for everything but the over the top builds. How much will it cost to get a set of SBM heads to flow that?

Meeting a guy Friday night, junkyard 5.3, head studs, factory rings loosened up a bit...3700 pound Chevelle...8.8 at over 150mph.

How much $$ would it take to build a forced induction SBM to run that quick? Would any of the factory blocks even stand to that much boost?
