Can't miss this one, and I did pick it up from Mesa! I figured SOMEBODY had seen it... at the least, it was quite the eye catcher on Craigslist.
I'm shooting for about the same horsepower as well. Maybe a smidge more.. The short-block I am using is one I'm getting from my father.. It was the last motor in his "monster truck" from when he was younger. He's guessing it was worth about 7-800HP in it's last form. Stories of it having the ability to light up 44's in any gear attests to that. I won't build it that radical, just for reliability and driveability reasons. But it will definitely be a good time either way.
My original plan was to put a 1st Generation 12v Cummins, and an NV4500 in it, along with D60's.... but the sound and feel of a healthy Big-Block is unavoidable for it's intended use.
