Re: Big Block Build

Didn't say the tall deck block wasn't buildable, just better have deep pockets to make one capable of spinning up 6K+ rpm...That entails pistons, rods, crank, (to utilize the stroke) heads, and a tall deck 10.2 intake. That's roughly $3.5K before machining, bolts/studs, gaskets, cam & lifters, carburetor, oil pump, high torque starter, distributor & wires, timing set, pan & covers, etc. etc...I'm by no means saying don't do it because that alcohol burning BBC would literally be a blast! I imagine you could empty a mud pit in 4 seconds with that thing! I say go for it!
