Not to sure of what it will be makeing but hopeing for 450hp fwhp. I'm useing the following. scat h-beam rods, Harrop 3.48 crank srp pistons yt shaft mount rr's vn groupa 4 bolt main block come twin t/b depends on the funds but either cast heads flowed to 500hp or yt dash 9's 10-1 comp ratio Wade custom cam, competiton pacey's twin cat 3" mandrell system. All going in a vp clubby. I guess all this depends on how good the engine tuner is.
