you know, its not too difficult to get 700hp from a Pontiac. The only thing I would do differently on the one I have at that level is a IAII block, or the aluminum block Butlers have.
Using the IAII you can build a 505 real easy, add some wideports or 320-330cfm E heads and 700 on pump gas isnt too tough, its somewhat streetable too with more cubes. A 540 or so would realy grunt with 330cfm heads and a cam in the 245-260 @ .050 range. Picking a cam would be dependent on other factors, like converter, weight, intake choice, gears, etc.
Yeah an IAII based 505 shortblock doesnt come cheap, but its bulletproof and all new parts. It would also be lighter than the Caddy, figure $10k-$15k for the IAII based 500+ engine, all up and running.
just a thought.. :)
