If you had 10k to build a bbc with iron heads.....
What would you build and with what parts?
Full race mud bogger.
Id go guy a 572 in a crate n call it a day lol last I knew shaheen had one on sale
632!!
I was dreaming! sorry I would scrap the bbc idea and go 434! I would build a 540 with really good botton end and ok top end so I can upgrade to alum. heads later on!
alum. headed crate gm preformence 502 r about 9,000 with gm discount. a good friend bought one brand new. blew it up within a year, the warrenty had them take it to lunghammer dealership for a rebuild and the later on the pick up screen fell off and scored the bearing. so they sent them another new one and had them return the other to lunghammer
I would not go BBC (even though I want a to make the 454 SS clone) but I would go with a SBC.
I would do a 454 Small block. But allow it to run on pump gas and Keep it quiet as could be but I would have the electric dumps. So when so dumb ass want to race or be mess with you hit button and let it rip.

Pro stock
no gutting and iron heads
Pump gas or race fuel?
Full race...no road use
Well this is my plans for my 427 tall deck, I'm going old school. Just taking it out to a 496 13:1 compression around .600 lift solid roller lifters roller rockers single plane intake and around a 200 shot of gas. But I want aluminum heads on mine. Hoping for a solid torque curve of around 650 to 700
Also full msd ignition to keep that gas on fire!
i would buld a zip motor... 4.625 bore with a 4in stroke with some high comp pistons and a bad as cam...there sooo many things you can do
i say destroke and turbo it... :P
Not sure how well turbos and mud get along.
since i don't know jack p00 about what's in the motor i got now...or at least i don't understand none of it...i would give the money to my engine guru and enjoy whatever he came up with ;D

What didn't you like about your 540 that makes you want to build a better one?
what are you thinking if building? mabye a 598?
needed more power
Quote from: betterbeaters on January 27, 2011, 02:24:56 AM

588 or 605
all just cost a ton
Good luck on the engine build. I'm glad I'm happy with a 500hp 427. I only spent $2500 on mine not 10grand
yeah its hard to build a big motor for 10g's i know my dad has about 16 in his 604 but its also a merlin 2 block and alum dart heads
