The things you have to do to afford to race a Y Block,

Some times you have to work on a scrub, this is a 5.7 (383 ci) that I just finished. It is the late vortec block with iron vortec heads, scat stroker crank, eagle rods, KB pistons, Comp Hyd roller cam, stainless valves, Comp valve train, 750 Holley vac sec. carb. Should make 450/475 hp on pump gas. The really sad thing is that this engine cost about half what my 337 y block cost.
