500 cubic inch ls billet aluminum block

[bigz28man]

[NJ Torque]

get ready to spend money....

[MyFirstZ]

What's that about 7 grand

[bigz28man]

$10,500.00

Waste om money. You can build a bad ass motor for 10,500 as apposed to a bare block, that you will then need to stuff with an extra expensive rotating assembly and massive heads

I think ecklers had a turn key ls7 for 10,500 lol

If you have the money that thing would he a complete animal

[BonzoHansen]

you building a pro stock car? :)

[bigz28man]

I'm tossing around a few ideas in my head and I'm not sure where I want to go with it, I do know one thing I want to get down a quarter of a mile in a hurry

[Featherburner]

You're thinking small...go big or go home! http://www.sonnysracingengines.com/engines/sar-1005-2150-hp-new-for-2012

You can buy a RHS block for 4999

[bigz28man]

I have a few NASCAR tour modified buddies that are willing to help with the build, they are pushing 800 HP on their motors but they are not lsx specific.

Also I hope you have a car with a lot of chassis work done to it for this motor. That 10 bolt aint gonna cut it ;). If you wanna make a serious drag car, get a certed 25.2 cage, beefy rear, and lots of other expensive chassis pieces and have at it. Just not sure if you are on an average American's budget or a Colombian coke dealers budget...

[bigz28man]

Yeah I don't know if a six figure salary will cut it but my first project has taken me four years to complete, and I see this one taking even longer

[sweetbmxrider]

I see it being a 6 figure build if you want to go real fast. If you just want a big ass block, buy it and build it mild as hell.

[bigz28man]

I will keep everyone posted on where I plan on going with this project as my ideas become purchases

[1984camaroz28]

Well for anyone intristed im doing a RHS tall deck 460ci canted valve nitrous motor, dry sump, 2 4500 tb's , jessel belt drive . i will upload pics later

[sweetbmxrider]

Please do.

[bigz28man]

Oh well, it will all come together one day. Right now I'm more concerned about getting my 97' Z up and running with it's 396, still waiting on those damn headers and then off to the body shop it goes for a complete overhaul. Also I'm working on getting my thoroughbred race horse ready for this season of racing. 1400 pounds of sheer muscle going at 50 MPH is too pretty sick.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

If you build it, he will come.
