700 HP is easy with either 23 degree or 18 degree

This part was edited after I saw Todds post deleted when I posted mine.
Todd, I've posted right behind two of your post tonight on different threads and by the time mine posted yours had been deleted.
You do that or somebody else do that?
I ran a BBC with 502 GM block, Eagle 4.25 crank (548ci), GRP rods, JE pistons 13.8 - 1, world products heads (not the best choice, but Curtis at RFD got 399 cfm out of one and 400 out of the other head), Comp cam, and a vacuum pump and made 868hp. Don't spend as much as I did on the heads, use eagle H beam rods and you could be at 700hp no problem within a decent budget. My motor ran for over two hard racing seasons no problems.

I deleted it after deciding it was off topic .
I suggested a 540-565 BBC based on EAGLE OR OHIO parts and a merlin or Dart block. 700-800 HP RANGE EASY for 10-12 k.Buy box stock heads from any of the good manufacturers and buy all the parts from a jegs catalog.
No Fancy high maintenance valve train. A big HP small block is very cool but they are more sophisticated and require more maintenance and know how.
any decent gearhead can maintain and tune an engine like I described
