" I think you'd get lots of interest also. The only thing I'd do different
" is stick a GEN-1 287 or 327 in with a 150-175 shot of nitrous (on stock
" pistons that's about as far as you can go -- most nitrous suppliers say
" 200 hp is tops, I'd leave a little more room there!). The bottom end and
" rods will take it easy, the pistons will be the only weak link. 

and it's easy to get custom forged slugs for any engine, though you
can't get much below about $100/piston.  polish, balance, and shotpeen
- and maybe cryoprocess - the crank and rods and they'll be good for
plenty.

how about a studebaker-style blow-through turbo?  the gen1 has rather
small valves and ports and you can't do a lot about them, but a turbo
would get around that.
