never said it was gonna be a SBC.....and it will actually be a 5.1, assuming the pistons will come up enough in the bore to keep compression and the geometry works going to do a 4.8 crank with 5.7 rods in an LS1 block. Something that will rev sky high. Since gobs of power won't be important I think it would be a cool engine to try and make. Everyone keeps going big, don't know anyone who has tried something like this. That is why I am hell bent on a 3rd Gen Formula, can fairly easily get the weight down to high 2XXX to low 3XXX pounds without getting stupid like removing crash bars and such. Also with the small displacement I can get away with much cheaper heads and such as something as simple as 243 heads will probably suffice
