I was thinking about building an all alum. B {low-deck 9.998"} Hemi
but spent another $10k on the house this summer
so much for that build...
Kinda' sorta' based on an art. from Hot Rod
IndyMaxx Block
http://www.hotrod.com/articles/the-indy-maxx-500-engine-block-part-1/
but use Stage V heads, fab'd 6bbl EFI just for giggles
lighter & lower narrower to fit "easily"
under an A12 hood in my 68 RR
It was expensive parts list, heads, valve-train & Block
porting & machining was $15k ballpark
{IF I could even get the small bore block, if not I'd do a big bore short stroke}
I wanted to do a std bore/stroke 426ci 4.25" bore x 3.75" stroke,
custom pistons long rod, depends on who's parts another $2500 - $5k -$7500
than another $1500 for exhaust, another $2500 for intake & EFI...
Than ignition, dist., timing & valve-covers etc.
complete was in the neighborhood of $20-$25k-$30k for all new stuff...
