so let me get this straight.. all there is to a 5.7 is this:
punch out iron 4.8 to 99mm. buy 5.3 crank. stock connecting rods (maybe some arp rod bolts). stock cc pistons. stock 61.15 cc LR4 heads.
by my calculations, this will give me a 11.0:1 static comp....
put on top of that a TR220.. seams to me 10.5:1 (-2cc) would be a little friendlier...
but I think this could net 400+hp on the cheap.. am I right?

also thought about Lq4/LS6 head and cam... hmmmmm
