Water .. pull your motors grab the 496 stroker rotating assembly from dyna flo, 1800.00 take & bore & hone your block, have your heads pocket ported a tad , buy a weind 177 blower on ebay for 1200.00-1500.00 and throw a holley 850 on there and your 600 to 650 5 lbs and your good to go ..give Leon at Dereberry a call and he'll tell you the same .just did the same exact project and its in a 24 Nova and waiting for warm weather to dial it in . i think we did this one for about 4500.00

RunninHot - I only suggest lots of caution if Scott does the assembly - he surely has great tallents - but if his shop is a disaster then that sometimes the product can be affected. I visted his place one year ago and the "dyno" was something that looked like it "once was" - after vsiting his shop - no way could I buy an assembled product from Dyno-flo cheap or not

Only thing i know is that his motors stayed together and still to this date , and he built them for peanuts compared to the 48,000.00 one i had built in Havasu that was by P** MARINE that lasted about 2 hours and was sent back 8xs in 1 year with broken cams, distributor gear teeth eaten off every other weekend , snapped cranks at 5000 rpm and same boat,same driver,same BBC .... any how i seen alot of motors on pallets waiting to get loaded on semis so he must be doing something right ,anyhow if i needed a decent motor i'd have SCOTT do it , when i repower the SKATER , or need BIG power it will be Leon DEREBERRY or DAVE @ Wesco ..
ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
