This is one of our typical pump gas small blocks that make an easy 500 or so HP without a strain, and can certainly be pumped-up to make even more power with a simple pulley change & re-jetting. This particular guy opted for a Milodon oil pan and timing cover and then had us paint them to match the engine, plus he wanted a more radical sounding cam, so we set him up with something that will not only sound like a monster, but will still go like one too!

With a Weiand blower and two in-line Holleys like this, it's the most price friendly set-up there is. Something like this with all forged internals, a nasty blower profile flat tappet cam, and pretty much the way you see it in this picture would run you in the neighborhood of $10,000 or so. It'll go as good as it looks and be 100% riable for years and years of fun. What more could you ask for?
