Not Ranked
Need Verses Want
With 500+ cid, you do not need to go to extreme exotic parts to make power. Getting 600+ lb-ft of torque is not hard. Getting it to breath to 5500 rpm or so is going to make as much Hp as you can hook to the ground in a 2500 lb car.
There is no need to spin this behemoth above 6K. Attempting to do so is where the cost starts escalating rather steeply.
You do not need solid roller lifters. You may want them, but you need to understand the difference between a need and a want.
It like seeing a good looking ***** and wanting her. After you have her, you wish you had never seen her.
