Looks like it in one of the PS boats at Bluewater ..... but I don't know the Dodges well enough to know, is this a small block?

I'll probably get schooled, but isn't ps/ss 340cu max?
I don't really know.
And it's not a Hemi. Ok never mind
Yes, it's a small block.
Is it 340 inch max? I thought that dodge motor was 360 inch?Quote:

The fact that it's a Dodge is why I took the pic, I think its usually all chevy motors.
I think you pick those engines up used for around 5-6 grand. Could be a good way to go for the power they're making. Definitely have good parts in them.
You are only off by 100 cubic inches.Quote:

PS is limited to 500 inches, and unlimited modifcations. UNBLOWN, methanol fuel is OK
The Nascar engines are only PS legal.
But don't break it. Things like camshafts cost 2 arms and a leg + first born. Pistons and connecting rods are slightly less, but still costly. We can't even discuss the cost of replacing a head in you need one a few years from now. The Dodge major component parts are already getting scarce.Quote:

A REAL Pro Stock engine should make 1000HP.
Very true. Ran into the same deal with the Buick stage 2 v6's. some parts were cheap because they were SBC stuff, other parts were god awful expensive.Quote:

Nothing about those engines is anything like a small block Dodge. The single biggest factor is the bore centers, which throws everything else off. The crank, cam, heads. Camshafts are ground on 60MM cores, valve layout is completely different than any shelf stock piston and the heads are set up for 6MM stems. Rockers arm assemblies are serious money. Rods use Honda journal sizes. Only reasonably priced manifolds are all cast single 4 bbl manifolds.
The look like a steal until you need something. Then they are a hole to throw money in.
The SB2 was probably the best buy at the time they were selling them. At least a good portion of the parts interchange with SBC if you needed to. And there is a ton of the stuff out there.
The Dodge, new Ford and the new RO7 are pure money pits.
Nope wrong again. K is 470 inches and a 8-71 blower in a open boat. There is no limit in a capsule boat, blower or engine, and nitro is legalQuote:
