Reply to "MODULAR OR BUST!"

I didn't mean to put down the car at all, I am just saying these are ultra rare engines. I have a friend who knows one of the guys who was on that program at Ford. I will check with him to see what it is worth.
Yeah I know the standard Cleveland is kinda weak, right above the mains area, but I am sure that blocks like Dart and that australian place have got that all worked out. And they come in aluminum alloy too which means you can shave another 200 pounds off your car.
I know the 427 side oiler was a real strong motor because it was made to be a racer. You can get one of those in alloy too and it would weigh less than a cast iron small block. But then again that is real old school. Maybe one of those new modular motors?? Micheal was saying they are a ton of maoney if you want to get the one for the Ford GT, but the 302 modular crate is about 14K for 400 horse. I am sure it is pleanty strong.
Have you considered a super high winding rice motor?? Like that Honda that redlines at 9500 RPM?? Or how about a Honda v8 like they use in champ cars. Ford use to make a little tiny V10 that developed 750 horses at 16,000 RPM. I always wanted to get me one of those. Souynds like a buzz saw gone bezerk. It would scare the hell out of inocent bystanders and small children. Muwahahaha.
But getting back to reality, unless you are entering the 24 hours of LeMans, I am sure the Cleveland will be plenty strong. George knows how to build them to where they never ever break. He has built and help build hundreds and not a single one has ever broke. That is a convincing record if there ever was one.
