I wonder what the price differences for the following setups are:
1. Stroked L92 (418ci) w/ L92 heads and LS3 manifold
2. LS7 wet sump w/ LS7 heads (or ETP LS7 heads) and LS7 maifold.

In response to lordbones post >> We do not have the website (www.praetorianracing.com) complete yet as we've been running pretty hard building engines. I promise that the website is coming soon and I'll definitely announce it here once it's up and running. In the meantime, I've been handling all inquiries for engines by email (doug@praetorianracing.com).
Cobra4B - the cost differential between an L92 and LS7 (wet sump) is around $1800. This is with both engines having upgraded internals, valvetrain, etc. We always use upgraded valvesprings, for example. Our 415-418ci packages have made 515+ rwhp. More and more of what we do is going to even larger displacement (using aftermarket sleeves). The larger bore (4.175+ vs. the LS7's 4.125) helps power by unshrouding the valves and ductile iron (as oppossed to the stock cast iron) sleeves result in a much more robust block. We plan to get some of these engines on the dyno soon.
