Ya know, this hybrid thing is really starting to intrigue me. I'm not sure I can justify the one-off pieces and the cost,,... well..... yet.

I think I'm going to have to build one, put it ion a dyno and see what the $ per pound of torque ends up. The LS power and reliability in a standard tried and true SBC bottom end

I wouldn't do a carburated version for anything but a drag motor,, but the possibilities of a stock LS EFI top end on a 4" stroke SBC with something like the AFR mongoose heads just gives me a tremble in the knees.

When you're dead, it's only a problem for the people around you, because you don't know you're dead. .....It's kinda the same when your STUPID. I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
