How about an EFI conversion?
You can have over 1000 CFM intake flow and not lose any drivability.
Check out my EFI parts list on:

This is not a race motor and it's designed for low end 'breakneck' torque. I'm interesting in learning this engines potential as are others and i don't think were that close to finding it yet.
My impression is that you can either go for high end or low end but not both. The cool thing about this killer motor is that you will always have decent low end due to it's design and when you have a decent torque curve you are going to produce respectable hp#'s when you add some revs. I'd suggest planning on a comp cam XE262-268 build and select the components to match it...except i'd go with a similar spec retro hydraulic roller cam- an extra $700 or so and I'd get TMI's stroker kit, aussie or chi heads and his kb pistons, scorpion rockers yada yada yada. WOW...that would impress folks. Even better than my build. when i get to putting it together. someday. tomorrow maybe or july.
thanks
