Nope, not that I'm aware of. DO NOT forget that the factory C5-R blocks are machined with NO PROVISIONS for a wet sump oiling system. If you want to go this route, my suggestion is that you look into http://www.corvettec5.com/store/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=260&category_id=09d9f39ad70cc26 24974ae643f6c5942 Its not a C5-R block, but, you can A, tell everyone it is, and B, be a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot stronger. No offense, and to each his own, but C5-R block w/o EFI is just nuts in my humble opinion. If you want to have a kick asp look with an EFI setup (assuming you can talk your old man into it) get 8 rodchesters converted over to EFI velocitiy stacks, run a FAST system, and have some tire frying fun

Cool factor for me would be a Al small block with some rare heads like the Splayed Valve or SB2.2 heads in a Rod. That's going to work with carbs and distributors and be really trick at the same time.

Yeah, now, that's a KA kind of idea. I know this company that's based out of NC does sell used NASCAR parts, for resaonable prices. http://www.musclemotorparts.com/

8 rodchesters
that is what i would want but unforantely my dad HAS to have the blower sticking out of the hood. no other way. so a blower must be included in the equation. i like the inline 6 idea. pretty much get a TT supra engine(2jz?) and rebuilt with big turbo(s). thanks for all the info guys, this has been very helpful in hunting down parts and ideas. thanks again.
