Most powerful turnkey SB crate on 92 octane?
Say that im looking for the most powerful turnkey small block crate engine that you can buy and that will be able to run on 92 or less octane.
I do not want nitrous on it, but having a blower or turbo system on it is fine.
So far ive found one at BRE that's a 383ci with 708hp and supercharged on pump gas.
I know there has to be something more powerful than that out there.
Id like to have killer street legal sleeper, and how the hell could you get it to pass smog?

Engine: 588 Alcohol BBC
Transmission: Powerglide
Axle/Gears: Ford 9"/31 spline spool/4.86
So what's the big difference between having a blower or turbo but not nitrous? All 3 will damage an engine if not properly installed or used.

You have to call the builders directly for custom jobs like that. If you were the type that should buy something like that then you would have already known and not needed to ask. If you were the type that could buy something like that then you wouldn't be driving an old 3rd gen.

OK lets put it this way. How much money do you have to spend? Putting a powerful engine into a car means nothing if you can't get the power to the ground. You're also going to have to change the transmission, differential and suspension if you wish to be able to use that kind of power. A 700 HP engine in a third gen will still only run 13's if you sit and spin the tires.
Figure out how much you can spend on an engine and double that to make it work. So far you look like a dreamer with no idea on what you want or what it takes to use it.

Someone sells me an engine with 700hp for $56.21, therefore I would need another $56 and 21 cents to make it move as fast as it should for a 700hp f-body
Can anyone out there lend me an extra :hail: $56 and 21 cents?
