Ultimate "Fantasy" Engine
Let's see what we have laying around. Obviously, we could not all get together to assemble our "fantasy" engine, but it may be fun to see what we would end up with. Try to be truthful with what part/parts you have. Anyone with a block to start so we know what we're building?

Ultimate "Fantasy" Engine
I don't know what stopped me from doing it...it was $3000 more and I had the money at the time....my fantasy motor is in new92racers '90 green meanie.
LPE 420-11:1 219 cam, track 1 cyl heads, super ram GOBS of torque...500 hp/562 foot pounds of torque. LOL I guess it's good I didn't go with it though, Dave and the previous owner went through their share of trannies and rear ends with all that snap.

Re: Ultimate "Fantasy" Engine (Jay 383)
for a Vette?
easy:
HSV HRT427
Indi throttles
560bhp
575ft lbs of torque
throttle response to die for.
based on the C5R engine.
limited production in the Australian HSV HRT 427 Monaro (Pontiac GTO)
either that or Id build up a nice SBC with a TWM indi throttle kit and standalone engine management.

Re: Ultimate "Fantasy" Engine (95AquaC4)
There is a dude in one of this month's Vette (or is it Corvette Fever?) that has two spare LT5 crate engines in case he should ever need one for his stable of ZR-1s. One of those would work! :D

Re: Ultimate "Fantasy" Engine (GDP)
I have some Brodix Track 1's in the garage if you guys want to use them.
I also have a set of 3" Tri-Flos and an x-pipe for when you put the motor in the car. :crazy:
