Fred, correct statement.A young guy who shops carefully can build a 300 HP 350 Chevy smallblock V-8 on his garage floor for 1000 bucks including the cost of a rebuildable engine.This engine will have a smooth poweband with plently of low end power and rev to 5500 rpm easily.
Like Leo Sanducci says,the mega HP 6's are limited powerband drag racing engines with zero streetability.
Super charging will get bif power from a six and still retain a decent idle,but it cost's a bag of cash to get there.
