The first thing we have to know is what do YOU consider cheap ? And if you can do some of the work yourself that will certainly help keep the cost down. If you have to pay to get everything done there is no cheap way to make 800 HP. Just my .02

The cheapest way would be to do it with a forged low compression 454/496/502. Turbos would be the way to go, but doing that with carbs (for cost savings) might be tough. Large (used) SC would have to do...
Regardless, you dont need 800hp engines in a 32 Skater Adam, you'll hurt yourself!
EDIT: Along those lines, you'll have a hell of a time getting insurance for such a rocketship being 24 with no previous cat experience. Not joking about this one...

haha thanks scot. not really looking to build any motors just interested to see what people think, and around 750-800hp seems to be the area where people start argueing for NA or blowers.........
