    Let me know how that works out. I've got a 429 CJ just sitting in the garage. Could be a fun project for me as well!

    it is going to be a stock 460 grenade i am going to see the limits of a stock bottom end it is a truck 74 madel with ported d3ve (junk) heads and a 500 lift summit cam stock intake and manifols and alot of boost i think if there was no limit to the bottom end than i can make like over 800 at the crank with 20+ boost i am basically wanting to see what a stock big block can do with a turbo i havent really seen it done before

    everyone says they know the limit of a stock battom end but few have actually been there and done it especially with a turbo they are a little easier on the bottom end that nos or a blower i would think

    I had one pushing 800, but it was the 4 bolt block. If you can get your hands on one, get an early 70's block (I cannot remember the part number at the moment, but they are much stronger than a standard 460).
