FrankenRat project!

Hey did anyone read the article in Chevy High Performance Mag about the FrankenRat project? I was wondering if that engine is streetable with the smaller S/C. I want a setup with about the same HP/TQ rating but maybe not as big of an engine (maybe 350 instead). I need something streetable on pump gas..any other suggestions that would work with engine combos to make that much streetable HP?

Ok, that was really vague. So you're saying you want a 500 HP blown small block. I'm pretty sure you can find some literature on that. Besides, those sissies haven't seen a franken engine yet. My engine was made out of leftovers that nobody wanted, not parts that no one just happened to not be using.

"We found a set of E-tec heads just laying around." I wish I could find stuff like that collecing dust. I know that's not from their BBC, but it is from their "Leftover parts SBC." I really hate those guys.
