I agree with you. I certainly wouldn't pull out a functional coyote and put in a Godzilla if my goals were 800hp. But again, for those looking for much more....that's when things get interesting.I've done a couple of swaps myself, so I really do get this. But any swap still has to make more sense than simply demonstrating it to be possible.Norm
Right...but what if there were an engine available for a fraction of the cost that would allow you to use stock ported heads, the stock oiling system and the stock crank? I fully understand this is a giant "what if", but that is precisely what is exciting people. We'll see how Brian's engine build goes, but a reliable 1800hp would be no small feat using the aforementioned stock parts. Keep in mind, to do this reliable in a coyote you need a billet block and engine that shares virtually no parts with a stock coyote.That is my feelings as well. If I'm serious about building a big motor for drag racing, I'm starting with a Merlin or Dart. I'm not going to invest thousands in a stock block build just to see if I can do it.
