I spoke to an engineer the other day and he said the biggest I could legally fit is a 502 - maybe different laws for different states??
I was looking at the Sharifoff site and also some other crate engine sites. I'm considering a ZZ502 crate motor. Can get one from the states for about US$7k + post + tax. Should be a bit under AU$10k landed.
I'm still a while away from that stage so I have plenty of time to research and plenty of time to hear suggestions!

Dont forget a 540 is exactly the same external dimensions as a 502, 454, 396 so who would know? You just put 454 stickers on the aircleaner. I had an engineer certify my engine. I know you dont want a small block but what about a 454 small block, they are still pushing some big horsepower!

This is what I'm looking at. It should squeeze in under a modified L88 hood (risen a couple inches). It's fuel injected 502 crate motor that I can run with the stock corvette driveline and then make driveline changes down the track.

There's a few youtube videos if you search "502 Ram Jet" - straight from the crate it looks and sounds great. I'd prob swap the valve covers for some red ones
Heres a Camaro here with the same crate motor and it fits under the hood nicely

You may be able to turn the intake around and suck air from the back of the L88 hood?

You wouldn't even consider buliding a motor, would ya? Just can't see why he's be runing a belt driven fan instead of thermo's?
