Am I underpowered?

600HP is plenty in a street vehicle. They don't prep the stoplights.

Yes they do,,,,,,,,,,,with oil!

And coolant, or just rusty water..

Turbo an 8.8. When gm sold them to psi they stuck them in trucks and school busses. I believe they had forged cranks and pistons. I can find good core takeout that got replaced with a new crate motor cheeper than I can buy the parts to stroke an 8.1

I would like to get 8.8 for less than 8.1l. Usually rods and crank are forged on medium duty motors, but rods still used weaker hardware.

I'd like a nicely-done 1960 GMC 2WD with one of the V6s. Of course, those were practically scrap-iron-priced years ago, and now they're expensive...or junk.
