Now THIS is a sweet big block...

[Vette Obsessed]

Over the last few months a good friend of mine in the USA has been showing me pics of her husband Mike's 1970 Coupe that he has rebuilding over the last year or so.

It's finally nearing completion and I had to share the pics with you guys as I think it looks HOT. ;27

It has a 540 CI engine which dynoed around 718 HP @6000 rpm on the engine dyno before it was shut off due to the mixtures not being ideal.  It has been estimated it would make around 740 HP @ 6400 rpm. The transmission is a keisler 5 speed.

Put your bibs on before looking at the pics guys. :spook

6440revs is great for really big stumps.in fact,you could use it as a tug boat.hehehe a ford engine could be the anchor.
