That's a beastly motor, probably still reliable as well.

eh... pumped up drag motors are, as a rule, not very reliable 🙂

There's almost a rule in racing, that if you don't break one occasionally, you're not pushing it hard enough.

750hp/700lb-ft is nice, but could it actually put that power to the floor?

There's nothing limiting it other than the shoes. You'd want Rcomps for that action, preferably extra extra wide, and no action in inclement weather obviously.

Lingenfelter has made powerhouse modded GM motors for ages, and they've proven to be robust and reliable.
 
This is nothing new, and I would hope that most people who want a car that fast would rather build or have built a more cost effective motor.

How about a 6.0L truck block, any choice of heads (317 truck heads IIRC lower the stock compression ratio & flow well), forged internals, beefy fuel system, and twin turbos. Try 700+ to the wheels and it didn't cost you anywhere near that thing. And there are cheaper ways to get 400+ ci if you really want the extra displacement.

Weight and size of said motor?

I would think around 6 liters. My question is, wouldn't truck heads be too restrictive to utilize two turbos, at least when trying to get 700 plus out of less than 400 cubes?

Size is the same as the LS* motors. weight is 564LBs

That's not too bad. Part of me wouldn't mind doing a 9.8" deck Warhawk block buildup though. Price would be inbetween the two choices, weight would be around the LS7.
 
dunno I would just get a LS2 crate motor and throw a magnacharger on it, should get you more than enough power.

I really love the LS motors though, very simply motors (compared to most other performance V8s on the market), tons of power, and reasonably efficient, and basically beats the snot out of much more complicated and expensive DOHC setups.

The heads I recall are stamped 317 and seemed to be of popular discussion on LS1Tech and LS1GTO for a while. IIRC they were a bolt-on to any LS block, lowered the compression ratio a good amt for FI, and I think used one of the newer intake manifolds that flows a lot better than the LS6 or LS2 manifold. Most people went to larger valves and while you're in there I'm sure a quick P&P - great budget FI head.

Again - IIRC. It's been a while since I researched it...
