the reason why im only aiming for 500hp is because people are running 3400 berettas with about 280, and they are running 13.9's at best. the aim is to have a daily driver that can beat most people out of the hole at a stop light, not to dominate the 1/4 mile. i know a 3.8 will fit, and because the strut towers will not be needed, there is even more room for the engine and etc. A/C will not be on the car, so there is even more room. i would like to have the T/A block thats .20 over and a stroker crank, bringing the displacement to about 4.5L, and allowing me to crank the boost down. the corvette running gear would work very nicely, giving me all that is necessary to make the car RWD and giving me handling to spare without having to cut halfe the car off. so at 500hp and 4.5l with mabye 15 PSI of boost, would the aluminum block handle daily driving?
