8,000 RPM!!!! A few questions about race motors

[Stroked408]

I think a 302 based block could turn 8,000rpm's with no sweat,it would have to be either an A4 block,R302 block,or the new Dart block since they are all 4-bolt mains.

I keep reading where people are saying Bennet this and Bennet that,it is a place in Indiana called BES which stands for Bischoff Engine Service that can build you a race motor,they built Chuck Simons,and Andy Law motors for them,and Chuck Simons is virtually un-stoppable in either Hot Street/Street Bandit,and he is only running 360 cubes,at least that was the last count who knows now.

Kuntz,Keith Craft,and USA Racing Engines are other good choices,and if you happen to hit the lotto give the guy from Indiana a call,give you a hint who he is,his old man used to rule Pro Stock in a T-Bird in the 80's.

Any of those guys are respectable engine builders,and willing to help which I think Bennet would do to,last but not least Ronnie Manchester in Conneticut,he just happens to build Billy Laskowsky motor for his Hot Street buggy.

Just a few names to think about when you decide to build a high rpm screamer,good luck with it.
