You guys don't understand why I am limiting myself to the LT1 and why I am trying to improve upon it. If I wanted a high horsepower race car or Corvette, I wouldn't waste my time resto-modding a 20-year old Firebird Trans Am. I told you, engine swapping is out of the question!
You paint with a broad brush. I'm a big fan of 36hp racing, based a case (not block) that hasn't been OEM since 1959. "Vintage-Volkswagen based Land Speed Record Racing"

So...what do you think about isotropic superfinishing? A good place to save weight is in the valvetrain. The savings get compounded through all the way to the [rear] wheels.
