It would seem to me most any engine can be made to have superformance. Just put the superformance parts in it.
I run 355 and 406 SBC iron V8 with stock intakes and headers. The 355 revs much nicer but does not have the low end torque of the 406, both make about 375-400hp and over 425lbs of torque.
If I was building a V8 it would be at least 4 in bore with a short stroke crank and long rods. The would be around 377ci displacement.
Myself. I'm building a audi 2.23L 20valve turbo straight 5 with Motronic Bosch EFI.
I also have an all aluminum block/heads Alfa Romeo 3L 24valve V6 with Bosch Motronic EFI that will also be built up.
I really have no ideas on the HP figures for the moment. I want to revs to be higher and the weight of the engine to be less then a iron V8, This should not be a problem.
Have fun building your engine!
