Default H2X Question for the BAJA guys

Will an H2X rigged with a small block have enough room in the bilge to fit a big block? What about engine mounts, and exhaust tips etc?

I almost need to change my sreeen name before I ask this, but there is a good reason for me to be in the BAJA section.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Jeff.... What's up buddy! "MR BAJA" here... Yes, you can drop a BBC in there no prob...exhaust won't line up but a little trimming and tucking and stuff you know how to do it will work. Are you picking one up to add to your collection or ??? Still got that 29 OL for you with HO's....already installed ;-)

Yes it will. There was a guy with a H2X that ran the Shootout many years ago. 109mph on a Bravo.

Didn't that thing run with a 1400 hp motor or something insane like that? Or am I mixing two boats together?

Dude made one pass & said he would let the drive live to see another day unless someone came close to beating him in his class.

I'd say HE should think about live to see another day. That's some run I've "only" been to 83 in an '01 H2X and that was running loose

My first Baja was a H2x and it had a 454 mag. That boat was fast.
