I am going to assume we are talking about a normaly aspirated engine. With a turbo or blower you could make 2000HP as we do with the small block.
We have built a few FE engines that made in the 850 to 875 HP range that cost about 30,000.00. These were single 4bl Dominator carburetor engines. I believe with some of the heads we have to work with now and about 510 to 527 C.I. with a sheet metal intake and 2X4 induction we could make 950HP. I would take this challenge for 40,000.00 but I have had no one offer this kind of money.
Hope this helps answer your question. Thanks, Keith Craft
