Yeah,I got one sitting in the garage too.

Have my eye on a couple more that I know of.

Agree with these guys,Dave (white warrior) was the man to talk to about these,and rusty4cyl has been using them for years too,those guys straightened out what's needed to get a late model trans behind these,a little work,but nothing too hard.

Dont forget Brad Spidel either,he has a centrifugal supercharged T1000 "half a V-8",he even went so far as to swap out the stock crank for a counterweighted 389 crank IIRC.

Also Steve B has it right,most any pontiac V-8 head can fit these engines.

I have a single '69 #48 RAIII casting I plan on using on mine to begin with.

Most guys have been modifying the aftermarket aluminum V-8 intakes and using those on the high output 4 cylinder engines.

Bottom end,rods and pistons are mostly interchangeable with the V-8 engines,so good rods and pistons are easy enough.

Specific high output cams seem to be a slight issue,but not impossible to have custom made.

All in all a lot of potential in these little "sawed off" engines,one or two things fall in place and I can see them becoming extremely popular in a few segments of the hobby.
