Be careful Steve. if you want to install this bloc in your coupe, you will have a confict between the dry sump pump and the body. So you will need to cut (by 1") the motor brackets and to made a new lower dry sump pump support (to locate the pump axis just below the main body tube). This is possible because the dry sump pan is shorter than a wet oil pan. Then you have to install a dry sump tank as closed as possible. However if you accept to do it, the result can be interesting.

oh i was just kidding. i think 700+ horsepower in a 2400lb car is gonna be a little too much to handle on a road course. It definitely would be pretty awesome though!!!

The thing that concerns me with the later style Nascar engines is the experimental rotating assembly combinations that they're using. I've seen massive rod lengths used, and TINY journal sizing. This means that if you ever needed to repace the crank/rods/pistons, you're up for BIG $$$ to get custom replacement parts.

It still looks like a heck of a deal ! Something inside me can see that motor with stack injection in a Kirkham Hybrid with a G Force GF5R straight cut trans
