Something different.

 

Buick V-6 SII N/A with 250-shot. 750RWHP @ 8500 and that HP level will barely get that engines attention. Throw a Glide behind it' date=' slam it up against the firewall and watch people giggle when you pop the hood then scratch their heads when it goes low-8s (assumes 2500#) and you put air in the ET Streets and drive it home. Since you are not going to turbo it, it should be much cheaper & stronger than a SBC at that power level.[/quote']

The more I think about it the more I like this idea. With a stealth N2O system completely hidden you would confuse everyone.

RB30 block with a RB26 head, GT35R turbo. Its a Nissan 6 engine so the heritage is there, 3 liters capacity ups the torque so an excellent daily driver or competition car. Just remember to change to better rods ~500hp, the stock ones start to bend :twisted:

 

Hybrid engine for the win :burnout:

VQ30DE, strong as hell, and cheap and every where. I think there good till about 450WHP or so in maximas.

 

Alot of guys are putting the 3L and 3.5L VQ's in s13's and S14's (im putting a 3L into my s13 in the next few weeks). You have to use the z33 oil pan and tranny but its a 6 speed and they are cheap. Oh and the 3L and 3.5L bolt up the same for trannys, IM's and are the same external dimensions pretty much.

TT the VQ30DE and have some fun! It may have 10:1 comp but they love boost. Plus the VQ30DE weighs about 75lb or so less then my KA24E, and its shorter. My weight is going be in the middle of my car:)

14-71 Rootes blower

Powerglide (with some mods to handle the power)

I like your thinking, but ditch the 14-71 and pick up a 3.3L Whipple or larger twinscrew blower.
