It all still sounds expensive to me. I would take the crank and rods from the tall deck and go find a 454 block and build a regular deck 427 if I just had to have a big block. Or go buy a 502 crate motor. Or an LS.......
Wow. I just got called out by an Engineer who draws parts and makes assemblies. Build lots of motors, do you? Probably not. I'm an engineer too, but I also build and race cars to keep me sane. Here's some pictures of my work. One is an LS3 powered spec Miata that I am building for the NASA circuit in Willcox Az, the other is a ZZ572 powered street/strip truck that makes it into the 10's at Southwestern International Dragway in Corona De Tucson. Where's yours? Let's see your work!
