guys, im only using a gen v block and crank. everything else will be aftermarket.
nice hbeam rods
flat top 10:1 pistons
115cc chamber aluminum heads
hyd roller cam & valve train..
600 will not be hard to come by that way.
The gen V block itself IS the limiting factor. Although mark IV, gen VI and after market heads will all physically bolt up. The water passages were different. Causing coolant leaks. Felpro makes a gasket to address this issue. But it is not a guarantee remedy. I have not personally found an aftermarket set of heads that address the issue. But I'm sure they could exist. It is no fun to invest in a block only to find out it's not compatible.
Just google gen V and aftermarket heads. Plenty of info on it.
As for controlling your trans, just go full manual.
