What kind of blocks are they using for 2000 HP big blocks? I was told to look for the 512 casting which apparently is an early 70's LS6 Chevelle SS block or a 289 casting. Just browsing ebay I found a few of each for around 1600 to 2000 for just the block. I can't imagine how much difference there would be between those blocks and a Gen V block.

Guy's going 20mph in 3rd gear and floors it and loses traction.
Ahhhh must be nice!
PS hope that doesn't violate forum protocall.
