Would Dart's Sportsman or Iron Eagle blocks disqualify you for Vintage events?
They seem like an ideal solution. I know the Iron Eagle is rated to something like 2000hp and 9000rpm?
I think you are permitted to substitute what is the closet equivelent to what the "race" setup would have been "then".
Part of the 'bitching' is about non stock block engines.
I would want to stay with a Ckeveland block if possible.
Some of the NASCAR blocks tested a little thin on the thrust walls.
I kinda like the idea of Buttmores aluminum block. Joulse is right. The lifters would have to be already sleeved.
I think I could be happy with a 7500 to 7800 short block.
Funny thing though. When you get on the track, 7500 doesn't sound very fast.
