Talked to Bryan over at AES engines for about 45 minutes yesterday. He wouldn't get 100% onboard with me about a big HP aluminum 5.3L but didn't say it's wasn't a good idea either. Just some aluminum blocks are stronger then others and to remember it is a factory casting. We ended the conversation with him saying he would "just try it and it see what happens".
We did go over some assembly prices and I guess he thought I was ballin because we wasn't even close on prices.
This is the place I've been locked in on for a while for the assembly.
Either Eagle or Callies Compstart, i'm leaning toward Callies. Next is deciding on 328ci or do the 4" stroke for a 363ci.
