Hello this is a great site and I,ve allready learned so much but I,m going to have to ask for some help and opinions. Basicly what I'm building is cj5 jeep frame which will be streched about 2 1/2 feet and have a roll cage built onto it. I know thats a little differant than what most of you guys do but I'm hoping you can still help me. I want to use a small block chevy either a 350 or a 400 but I'm not sure which will work better. I would like to have about 650 -700 horse if thats not too unreasunable. I've rebuilt engines before but have never built a high horsepower engine its not going to be a drag racer more of a play in the mud and in the sand dunes but I'll probly end up dragin their anyway so I would like it to be able to handle NOS too. What I'm looking for is a engine that can do a lot of running and last some time before it has to be rebuilt and not just the 15 seconds down a sandy strip before being turned off. If anyone could give me some ideas on which engine to start with and how you would build it would be appreciated. Money is not an option only the years it take to earn it and I've got a lot of years I'd rather do it right than to do it quick and cheap.

Thanks alot

Trenton
