I agree completely. Biggest power limiter is the cast crank (Paxton guys have gotten 700+RWHP with it though). I think that just maybe the Gen 1 forged crank will fit (can't find one to borrow or get someone to measure theirs). I know that the Gen 2+ will not! So to build really big power the first things you need is Billet crank, mains, and stud girdle. At that point it is already a special build. I will find out soon if the block can support Darton sleeves. That will determine if I am going to have a 554ci or a 510ci. So far this build has been cheaper than doing a fully built Gen 3 Viper engine but only because I have waited months (years) for really good deals to come along.
You would actually be surprised at all of the similarities between the Magnum and Viper blocks. The differences is what has kept my creativity going though!
