The future should be in GM LSX motors. I have an engine in my Denali making over 750hp at 9psi on a custom built 434 cui LSX block with a Kenne Bell 3.6 Supercharger for less than $25k built by a Nascar engine builder that has provided Dale Earnhart Jr. motors for some of his championship years. Why do marine motors need to cost so much more?

A supercharged LS based motor could work, and it would look just like this

I priced out a 572 BBC, (just got prices of the net), capable of making anywhere from 1000hp to 1200hp cost of parts was between $30k-$40k.
I'm guessing that your guy built that on the side but I could be wrong about that.

I agree, I don't think they cost more it's they are sold complete with all the front pulleys, seapump, bell housing, etc.

Their not making 1300-1600hp out of a nascar motor, and its not in marine environment, getting beat to death. Nascar and marine power are totally different animals trust me
