Hypothetically speaking, let's say you had the wrenching skills necessary to build a 600hp Rat motor for $6,500. With the astounding airflow potential of today's conventional, 24-degree, big-block Chevy cylinder heads and the multitude of dirt-cheap rotating assemblies cluttering up the Summit catalog.Hypothetically speaking, let's say you had the wrenching skills necessary to build a 600hp Rat motor for $6,500. With the astounding airflow potential of today's conventional, 24-degree, big-block Chevy cylinder heads and the multitude of dirt-cheap rotating assemblies cluttering up the Summit catalog, this caliber of horsepower-per-dollar heroism is certainly attainable-try hard and you could even do it with stock rec-port heads. Even though that would qualify as an impressive budget build by most standards, how many people have an extra $6,500 to throw around on anything, let alone an engine, these days? Since we've all had to recalibrate our affordability scale in recent years, it's only prudent to pursue truly budget-friendly engine combos that most hot rodders can build without running up the credit cards.

Black/Screaming Yellow- 99 S/C TA WS6 & 04 Cobra
I already have my next motor for my TA. It's a L33 Aluminum 5.3 Shortblock sitting at home in the garage. All I have to do is slap my heads/intake/headers on it and we are good to go! The best thing is it was a junkyard pullout from a 2006 Envoy Denali (30,000 miles for $300. Ready to be boosted!

You can't beat the price of them. I am going to stuff that in when I think the 347 needs to be refreshed. It is going on 8 years and still going strong but I know it can happen at anytime. Plus they will hold up to a decent amount of abuse and boost. They have a perfect comp. ratio for boosting.
