With good tuning they can make some good power. But mine was an L33 (aluminum block). They can still make good power IMHO, and 150ish pounds lighter is nice too.

This will be my next build. It started out life as a L76. I'm planning to bore it .030 over & destroke it with 4.8 liter crank & rods. Then it will probably get a Holley Hi Ram intake and a decent size turbo. I'll be looking for 9000 rpm.

I have a little Gasser but that $$$ statement by the op not exactly accurate. At some point it is all expensive.

this is my gasser. It just got a new heartbeat and a few more changes. We will see how it runs in a couple of weeks.

Lil gasser:woott: what horsepower numbers and engine are you running with that thing?

Stock factory 4.6, 32V forged motor. I estimate hp to be 425rwh. Getting ready to drop a big TVS 2.3 blower with injectors. Should net me 620rwh.:D
