Where can I get a 600 HP Chevrolet engine for a daily driver?

I'm looking for a high quality, heavy duty engine that will compete with a Corvette on the street and drag but want it for a carburetor setup. It is going to go in a 1967 Chevrolet C/10 short wheel base pick up. I've got 4.11 gears with a T56 transmission.|||1st off in a 67 c/10 your gonna need 700 HP due to the weight of truck to keep up with corvette z06's, unless your putting a fiberglass cab and front clip on the truck





Next with the weight of that truck your gonna need more gear. 4.30 or lower (higher numbers)





The T56 is not the best transmission for this. In fact an auto trans like a th-400 with a transbrake would be a much better option





Traction is gonna be a nightmare and if your just spinning the tires a honda will go right past your 600-700 hp truck.. So in a truck with that kinda power your gonna need ladder bars or 4 link with oil over springs and adjustable race shocks, along with atleast DOT legal drag radail rear tires





Now lets get to the engine. Most times I agree with GTA tony but this time I have you respectly disagree with him.





You can have a 600-700 HP daily driver with carb but heres what it boils down to...





What do you call streetable? This is very opinion based and just depends on the person.





What I call a daily driver and use as a daily car everyone calls a full on drag car.. To me its streetable though.





Last dyno was 505 HP, new upgrades no dyno yet but should be 580-605 HP





Now lets look at mine.. Power brakes won't work, have to use man. brakes.. Timing has to be spot on or get detonation. Timing and carb jetting changes on side of road if temp changes outside alot when driving. Get's 6-8 MPG on 93 octane pump fuel, Exhaust is at 108 DB at idle, 120 DB at 3000 rpm, 10 pt. roll cage inside the car. Front suspension loose, rear suspension rock hard and you FEEL every bump HARD





Cruz RPM is 3400 rpm @ 60 mph





Interior floor pan of car gets hot enough to cause the rubber on my boots to get sticky after an hour long drive (and this is with two layers of alum. type heat and sound deadeners on floor)





The 249/252* @.050, 106 LSA cam lopes hard enough to rattle fillings out of your teeth.





Engine won't idle under 1100 RPM





Is that streetable to you? It is to me!





To me if a car can run on pump fuel, has mufflers, working lights, and windows in it, then its streetable.





Now after all of thats out of the way... To get a more street friendly combo for your goal and useage I would recommend a supercharged 454 big block





Forged bottom end, 8.0:1 compression, alum heads, centrifulgal type supercharger, 8-10 psi boost, holley 4150 HP carb, 950 cfm, mech. sec. set up for blow through use. Around a 250* @.050 cam with a 116 LSA





2" tube header, dual 3.5" pipes, X pipe, ultra flow mufflers or other mufflers that flows over 1200 cfm|||There are many different engines that you could get that would be able to do what you want





Also you should be prepared to spend well over $10,000.00 on parts alone and get about 4 miles per gallon.





There is only 1 thing to remember horse power costs money how fast can you afford to go.





I would suggest that you build up a small block 350 with enough money you could easily get 600 Horse power and be a lot lighter than a big block with a much broader power band. Also parts for a small block are much cheaper than a big block.








You may also want to look into diesel engines they can do amazing thing with diesels now a days


Good choice in trucks though





EDIT


If any one really thinks that you can not build a 350 chevy to 600 horsepower they do not know what they are talking about.


It is very possible and has been done many times. and as far as the price of parts it is not going to cost any more than parts for a 572. Also there is nothing wrong with running a carbureted engine lots of people prefer them to fuel injected due to there simplicity and you can easily run just as much horse power through a carb as you can with fuel injection. NO it is not going to be a very good engine for a daily driver but it will be fun as hell to drive. And no truly fast car is a great daily driver.|||theres no way. just no. you wont be able to beat a corvette. you can get 600 horsepower though with a good 454 big block or even 396 big block. as far as a 350 small block goes. those are good for up to 500 horsepower but it takes alot of money to get them up there regardless of their parts availability. if you did wanna go with a small block you can get stroker kit for the 350 and bring it up to 383 then hit it with a power adder, like nitrous or turbo or supercharger. all this will be relatively cheap, but if you want great performance and good gas mileage with modern technology. i suggest doing either an LT or LS swap. you dont have to go LS1 or LS7 or anything like that, but you can get an lq4 which is a 6 liter cast iron block with aluminum heads and you can add an LS intake on it . or if you want more power you can just get an ls1 and add some goodies on to it. also gm makes a new 454 vortec that makes a bunch more horsepower compared to the old 454 of the 60's.|||A 600 horsepower CARBED motor you want to daily drive? LOL! Right. Good luck with that.





Sorry but you're aren't daily driving any vehicle with that motor...not with a carb. If you're truly serious about it go to a local engine build/performance shop, you're not really going to find much on a national level, at least nothing built the way you want it.





Good luck.|||Good luck maintaining any sort of traction with a Pickup.|||Get a GM 572 engine!|||JEGS SELL THEM-------I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BUILD ONE FOR A CUSTOMER AT THIS TIME ------MY FAVORITE CHEVY ENG I USED TO RUN THE STREETS WITH WAS MY LS-6 454 ----I BUILT MINE TO EST 750 HP .
