373 engine build

gandalfthegrayMember

I recently purchased a 72 Pantera that came with an all aluminum block and heads. Said to be 373 cubic inches (SVO). I am curious if this engine could be rebuild to the larger displacment of the 427 or "Hammer" engine. I would like to try to reach the 550 HP+ level and possibly set it up to run a 175 to 250 Nitrous shot.

Also, what are the limits of the compression ratio that I could still run pump gas (93 octane)?

Are these reallistic goals for the aluminum block?
