850/900 hp
I am at the design stage of building a new engine for the Daytona.
What would your build consist of. Money is an issue but do want good parts but not overkill. I will assemble the engine myself after all of the machining is done by a local shop I have used for over 20 years. I have built performance engines for 35 years.
It will be natural aspirated, roller cam, tunnel ram? F.A.S.T.
electronic fuel injection.
What cubes - 598 or 632?
Plan on using a tall deck block.
I have dry exhaust so cam overlap is not an issue.
Would you do the firing order swap?
Thanks
Steve

I would buy a used engine that the owner has already sunk double the amount of money into than it is worth. Then you can pull apart, inspect, and still be ahead of the game.

I would suggest if you are going NA use a big tunnel ram intake with as much volume (bath tub style) as you can! At high RPM the cylinders have a larger amount of atomized fuel to pull from, 5800 and up rpms. dual quads for sure! either Carbs or T/B. IMO
Your biggest power gains in a N/A motor will be in the headwork, make sure you have the heads done at a reputable shop as it will be the most critical part or the HP equation again JMHO.
