Build a 9-1 compression 496 with open chamber oval ports fitted with 2.19 & 1.88 or even 2.25 & 1.88 valves. Medium hydraulic roller cam. 850 carb. Drive the wheels off of it.

That motor is listed for $5500 from Jeg's $5800 Summit.

Jeg's also offers 496 engines in $4500

Competition Products offers a 540 short block for $3995 in your choice of compression (9.4 or 10.3 or 13.1)

They also offer a 502 short block for $2995 for 10.25 compression ratio, for an extra $1400 they have Patriot heads to make a long block. They have the 540 in the 'broom sheet' for $3799 with the same $1400 extra for a set of Patriots...

I would be paying $3k for it. It's not brand new, but I know it's history. The motor has maybe few hundred miles on it and was never raced.
