Not looking for a 600 h.p. 13:1 compression motor to run 85+ mph......but what do you guys think it would take to say run 65 mph from a SBC

Angel... speak to Laz.
He gave me some great pricing on a 475HP 383ci a few yrs back.
Even if you don't buy from him, he'll have ideas for you.
BTW, i was running 74.8 w/ 560hp bbc.
Now Jeff is running closer to 78-79 w/ the same broken in setup.

Pat Weismann is doing a LOT with LSX power. Next generation engine with lots of power potential. They fixed a lot of stuff that didn't work on the last generation small blocks (like the siamesed exhaust ports and head cracking). They're running a pair off them in the old Ettore Extreme and the thing runs like a scalded cat.

BAD AZZ but yea the camera work has me sea sick right now...hehehe
I've got a 400 SBC and was just given a 355 4bolt main complete motor by my brother in law from one of his boats ...
I know that ultimate power is a BBC, but I have always wondered how a real nice small block would do in a 24 Pantera....especially after seeing how well that damn Plum Loco runs.
My plan is to make some minor changes to the 355 on the top end, cam, intake and heads..and slap her in just to get it in the water.
As for the 400...I have a couple of different ideas...one of which Rick gave me...that would make it a real nice SBC.
At the end of the day SBC's are a dime a dozen and DAMN cheap compared to BBC. Yes I know displacement rules but I think that with todays technology in parts you can build a VERY reliable SBC that will run all day long and not break the bank either.AKA - "Pantera24" on OSO

Angel, of anyone, you should know the sbc situation, since your 24 and 28 both had them. That's how i'd build a 28... twin 450-500sbc.
