Re: questions about building a motor

Get a Mopar engine and I'll tell you how to do it easily.

I'm interested in this also for a SBC, I'm not too familiar with the gains generated from individual mods to these motors.

This is who I would use, in fact, I did use him. He is a engine guru and does everything in house by himself. A true craftsman...

First question is... what is your budget?

Tight budget and 500 hp usually don't go in the same sentence. Unless you got a lot of time to save for parts and machine work.
