Re: If I ever lost my LT5 Engine
I considered the Mercury SB4 for a minute when I lost my LT5, but it ended up being way less money to have Pete do one of his 391 cid builds for me. The <$19K price point of a new LT5 crate motor would make it more compelling, but I think I'd still go with Pete's 391 or his 441. The new LT5 would need a lot of work to make it fit/work, whereas a built original style LT5 is just a swap in and tune. The 391 is honestly all you need on the street (600+HP and revs to 7400rpm), while his 441 is going to make close to new LT5 power (700+?).

The trip to Mercury Marine in Wisconsin left an indelible mark in my hot running wants!

Paul, did you make a typo? Shouldn't there be a "P" where the "W" is? --Bob
