Even with a very mild cam you'll get over 300 rwkW's out of this...
If you were on a real tight budget you could even use your exsisting cam (it would be very torquey, though she would run out of puff pretty quick).

If your engine recently went out to lunch, I reckon this would be just the ticket...
Hi Plums
Would you have any more info on were the best place is to sorce the 6lt block & crank as I am trying to decide weather to buy a 400+ ci LS stroker short motor or build one myself.
