I have a 1776 as well and have been pondering the same thing. Although I have Kadrons as well, Webers might help, lightened flywheel of course, Kennedy stage 2 pressure plate, upgraded clutch maybe, lightened this and that. Ask an experienced engine builder or shop owner for advice on rockers, CR, camshaft, etc. There has gotta be a generic formula for a bada$$ 1776. I remember a guy came to the forums here and said he had 1776 built by Jake Raby that had "stepped to the plate against a few 5.0's and Camaros." Anyway, its possible. I suppose if you asked the person you'd be buying your parts from they would be more help.

Have you thought about turbocharging? Since you are technically building the engine from the ground up, I am sure you could make some modifications to make it lasteven under the pressure of the turbo. Its what I have been thinking. Hmmm.

So, anyone else have any ideas...besides a type 4 engine, of course?
