[DeTomaso] speaking of crate motors - jUST REBUILD YOUR CLEVELAND

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Are you kidding me?
  $15K for 500HP? If I pay $15K I sure as hell better get 750+ hp. I paid $4200 for my 500+HP Russ Fulps engine...16 ORR's and a bunch of street miles later  the only thing I've had to do to the engine is replace the plugs. 
   
  For half that $15K I can have a NASCAR motor or Crazy Dave will build a twin turbo motor and I'll have $7 grand left to play with.

  S.H.M. uses there own aluminum casting of the modular block with optional 
deck height which is much more durable than Ford's aluminum 4.6 and much 
lighter than either 4.6 or 5.4 or in the one shown 6.0L. They also come fuel 
injected as well but the prices are based on set-up. They are not cheap, all 
High end parts used and have a very good reputation for endurance racing.
