As stated-What would everyone like to see built and put head to head with the other entries? J.Rob

I'm thinking 360 ( or 318) blocks are plentiful and parts are cheaper
What? No 273? 
Is there a challenge out there ??

Dyed in the wool big block guy, whose never messed with a small block mopar....... but I voted for the 360.
More engines available, more relevant to more Mopar guys, lots of potential upside improvement and good numbers possible.

Actually, I think that's a great idea- A "Mini-Motor" shootout between stock stroke 273s, 283s, 289s, 290s, etc. Put a 300 c.i. cap on displacement and turn 'em loose.What? No 273?
Something different from the usual stroker smallblock builds.
What's it going to be used for, as in strip only, mostly strip with a little street, hopes of the strip but barely even on the street, pulling truck/mud bogger, grandma's grocery getter, delivery van?

I voted 360, but I say let the 340 guys play along with 'em. Not because I'm a huge 340 fan (I am) but because it'll clearly demonstrate the advantage of the 360's longer stroke.
I love 340s, but I'm not delusional.

I'd throw my hat in that ring if I could, with a big ford inline six, with a frankenstein butchered LS head. Let the hate begin!

Just send it
5.9 magnum. I have a good core block you can have for free.

Have you seen the blueprint four banger with an LS head? Check you tube. 320hp, N/A.I'd throw my hat in that ring if I could, with a big ford inline six, with a frankenstein butchered LS head. Let the hate begin!
Sure have! We used to have a2002 base 2WD anemic 4 banger S-10 that engine would have done miracles for.
Probably the best choice.
I had a 69 Coronet that someone slipped a 361 in. It was a screamer with headers and a 4 barrel.

I think we need to install one in the bed of that $2000 chinese pickup.....

Don't know don't care as the scoring will be avg hp + avg tq / ci x 1000 within a predetermined rpm range. J.Rob

Has Engine Masters ever done a straight-six shootout? That would be interesting too. I'd LOVE to see a no holds barred maxed-out Hemi six on the dyno.I'd throw my hat in that ring if I could, with a big ford inline six, with a frankenstein butchered LS head. Let the hate begin!
Didn't the Aussies have a decent (ie non integrated intake manifold) head for the Ford 300?

I assume 94 pump gas...
That would be a challenge for most.
I think the 360 and 440 should be disqualified, as it's not really a challenge to build those.
Stroke should be left off the table.

318 would be OK with me too. But I'd want to put a 4"crank in it, and I'm pretty sure that would be against the rules, lol.There's plenty of 318's.

I voted 360 because it’s the most common and the masses will get to learn something from the competition and maybe apply it to something they’re doing. And it will gain more interest.
