Just add $500 to the cost of the 416 
Rod and crank and pin upgrade for the piston for those power levels. We could use the same crank and save $250 of that though.

One thing I will say though is get in early, the waiting list is long for an HKE engine and the winter is when the racers rebuild and engines are in demand.I wish I could keep them on a shelf but with HKE being a recognized industry leader/expert the demand is far to great to keep up. We do have a semi long lead time.
I know others brag about having a zillion engines on a shelf, but when your in demand like this it's impossible. Unless we just start whipping them out and skipping steps. But then we/HKE would not have the superior reputation we have so its a trade off. Precision engines are not built in a day.

when i do a motor.. it will require 3 bolt heads.. More for reliability then say makeing stupid power.. i dont want to be facing the issue that some people i know are with 4 bolt heads. If i was to spendthe money i wanted to do it once and not again.

He has someone making 1600 hp at 30 lbs on 4 bolt heads. Its the tuning and issues with.... detonation is what lifts heads.
We could certainly do it for you, we build them how people want, but we would advise you differently. In the end its your money and we'll build it the way you like it. If you were looking to make real big power then a better block option would be advised.
