We used to run Blown 500" Hemi's in the Grand Prix Inboard Hydro's.Compared to Chevrolet based engines they were extremely expensive ,weighed more and were a pain to work on.However all of that was offset by the Performance and the sound was different compared to the chevy's.

Check with Steve Stepp at Velocity. He 's got a 572" Hemi in his 29 VR-1 I think it was built by Ray Barton in PA.

It can be done, but not inexpensively. Weight and parts availability are big hurdles.
