I built a naturally aspirated stroker (stroked 440) motor that puts out just over 600 ponies and runs on premium pump gas. It gets about 8 mpg. You'll need a suitable transmission & convertor (if automatic) and rear end. I've got about 15K in the entire drivetrain. Count your pennies!!  :money:

Hi and welcome to the site. It will take some digging thru the archieves, but everything you want to know is probably here ... somewhere. A career Army guy eh? Thank you for your service. I'm a retired Army Blackhawk driver myself. What do you do for the Army?

All my time in the Army I was assigned to Infantry Divisions (2nd, 7th, 10th and 25th). If it wasn't for you infantry guys I wouldn't of had much of a job flying around in my Blackhawk. Air Assault!
