Shades of the SB2 motors...
ReplyDeleteFar more sophisticated, and more streetable.
DeleteGood points on the sophistication and streetability, but the SB2's were developing 700+hp and revving to 9000rpm for a number of years in NASCAR. And they were 'streetable' for versions of that...LOL
DeleteOh, yeah, the NASCAR motors were something to behold. VERY durable, lots of midrange, and a whole big bag of HP on the top end.
DeletePretty good for a carburated engine.
It's a screamer....
ReplyDeleteWow! Wouldn't mind putting that in my 2000 Chevy C3500 for towing! It would do the trick and climb the Rockies with a big trailer and do it in the passing lanes...
ReplyDeleteI stole this with glee and posted it in Bustednuckles...
I suspect we'll see them available as crate engines....
DeleteHow long ya think before somebody tries to put a turbo on it?
ReplyDeleteChevy's going to do that for the "Zora" or "ZR-1" model. Supposed to have something like 850HP....
