Why would I want to take a step backward in displacement, torque and horsepower? 
1100-1200hp should get the job done just fine for now and then that's no longer enough I'll go to an Eliminator block and call it good.

Oh, btw, for the 460 equivalent of that FE block you posted (aluminum aftermarket block) you can have 640ci which isn't bad.

Now for a car it might not be a bad way to go because it's easier to squeeze in there but space isn't a concern for me.
