Then again the little AWD car it's in probably ends up weighing about the same. HMMM, turbo Alloytec C/10? That may have to warrant consideration.
Anyone think a TPI on a 400 sbc would be decent? Not a standard TPI but with some decent aftermarket runners and a lower intake. An aluminum big block would be perfect but the price of the block is a bit more than I care to spend.

I’m not trying to be a jerk when I say this but I would think an aluminum big block would be cheaper to build and install than a hemi swap. Maybe I’m wrong but it would be a lot less to figure out than the hemi swap and the old school gm V8 stuff is a dime a dozen and pretty cheap especially compared to late model stuff.
