complete engine overhaul questions.

I can kinda understand where the op is coming from. I use to deal in older muscle cars my self, so yes it would come across as simple. Yes we do have the technology to add big cubic inches and intake runners and valves and such, but the technology on the ecu and vvel is not there. Think about it though. If we can make almost 350 rwhp with bolt ons why couldnt we make almost 500 with 4.5 liter stroker. I believe that we could if there was a way to get more air to the engine via the intake side of things. If we cant change the vvel or the cam the only other thing that could be changed would be the essentric part of the valve train (part of valve train that actually makes contact with the valve steem). With new pistons, clearance wouldnt be a problem and you could controll the duration and lift with one single part. Once again it would cost alot just to test out a theory.
