My thinking was to use lightweight flat top pistons, lightweight capscrew type 5.7" rods, aftermarket 3.75" stroke crank with larger counterweights for the longer rods, internally balanced. Throw on a set of old 292 ported turbo heads or I have some aluminum twisted wedge heads, off road solid flat tappet cam, possibly a stock Z-28 or edelbrock air-gap intake with 1-3/4" headers to make some nice torque and Hp. I would think 425-440 hp and 430-450 ft-lbs of torque would be possible. This would be fun in a nice gen 1 Camaro, with an M20 and 3.73 gears.
