My "something different" is in the process of getting all its parts gathered up and machined so they'll work well together. It's going to have a 305 Chevy block, a destroked 283 crankshaft, NASCAR specification tool steel connecting rods, and a roller cam with a rev kit. It will be slightly over 250 cubic inches, and should live quite happily at 8K+ RPM. It's going to be installed in a home-built tube steel frame with an Excalibur Roadster fiberglass body. The whole vehicle will probably weigh less than 2500 pounds. That engine should sound like a bumblebee on steroids when I get it wound up tight!
