6-71 small block build.
My current engine is a stock stroke 360. 10.8-1.
Its going on an engine stand in the shop once the new build is ready. Once I get a handle on the blower tune I may sell it but honestly I have so much money in machine work and parts in it I'll never get what its worth so I probably just keep it.
HP wise. I have no idea. I don't even care what it makes. I wanted a blown small block.
I hear the LA blocks will let go around 600 HP so I'll probably push it right up against that number and see what happens.
I will be running a cast crank and rods but I think the failures start in the block most times.
I may go bilet main caps.
My buddy who owns the machine shop is a dealer for Nelson racing engines and could have sold me a set of NRE turbos for A LOT LESS. in fact he really enjoys telling me how stupid I am for going this route but I dont care.
Blowers are cool. Look in the forced induction form. Everyone has a turbo small block. I think theres like 4 or 5 guys here with blown small blocks.
And if turbos were so bad *** why does top fuel run roots blowers?
