Thanks for the 'goodluck' .... Plus with a college eduction 6 years from now when YOUR having Sonnie Lenord build you one of his $80,000.00 ALL aluminum 780 cu in. big blocks I'll be asking the board "I've got to rebuild my 502 big block, should I bore it .030 or .060 over"??? HAPPY 4TH... Bill

I don't know that i'll ever have a top fuel street car , but i was thinking about copying his "hemi" heads on a smaller scale for an LT1. And you're probably right, in a few years i'll be spending all of my money on the next "project" right when you are getting bored with yours. Maybe you could sell it to me, huh?

(after re-reading my post i see I used alot of "I" 's.. oh well..)

I was thinking of doing the exact same thing for my 3rd gen camaro. I've had a roots blower on a 383..its actually bad *** to look at that thing while you're cruising around. I love it. I only had issues with driving it on a hot day, it would get hot (the engine). I didnt run it underdriven like most people do..lol. But then everybody has done the blower thing. I wanted something different. Then after researching blowers (roots vs. centrifugal), Procharger was the brand to get..but then doesnt everyone have that? So I'm putting in a twin turbo 406 in my 3rd gen.

hmm..I think either one is ok..if you can keep it running cool, then I'd do the blown 540.

LOL sorry for the confusion. I was just making a joke that a motor of that size would have a huge cam to go along w/ it,thats where I got the 2 seconds between each cylinder firing from.
