I don't know this guy or his work. I was just speaking from personal experience. Not sure why he thought I was shoving a stick up his a** by mentioning 5 ft 300 lbs Mexicans but I didn't mean it that way. I don't give a sh*t what type of work you do or how good tour work is because all I'll do is buy over the counter chevy crate engines, when I need one. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Good luck with your machine shop and your super badass mexican head guy. I simply don't care bro. Again good luck.
The gentleman simply asked about a 650 hp setup. I gave him my opinion and you gave him yours. Unfortunately you took mine the wrong way and that's fine. Moving on...
Dude, it's time to STFU...from the guy you come to for advise.
Bostick is a good builder...we've talked before, I still don't understand how he does what he does for the price he does it for. Crate engines are mass produced junk for the most part...good enough for the occasional romp but I'd bet money one couldn't hang WOT through 20 gallons of fuel like a piece that was put together by a guy with a passion, a functional brain, and measuring tools.
You go get that crate motor, put
It in a boat (that GM says not to) and hang a blower on it (that GM says not to)...run it like I run my boat...see how many minutes it lives.
