You can buy blown bb V8s from the usa for $5000.

I thought it could have been an alloy Clevo block as there is a 7 liter kit available for the late model 5.4litre Boss engines

408 is biggest for a clevo, but that is a 351 windsor stroked to 427.
you can go up to 452 with a windsor if you want,... i mean if funds permit.
where the article goes wrong, is when they say it's based on an FE. this is a 427 FE,...

If that thing were mine, I'd have a 632 cubic inch big block Chev V8 in it.

There is no replacement for displacement.

2JZ no sh!t (to quote the fast and the furious)

But seriously, 2J's are the bomb! Best sounding 6cyl in the world.

There's a place not far from me that'll install a Lexus V8 into just about anything with wheels. The only caveat is that it is for 'race purposes only'.
