Has anyone heard of a american V8 with a flat crank ( like a Ferrari or
lambo).  And I know this may sound crazy to some of you but has anyone heard
of destroking a cleveland to  get a higher revving engine ( large bore short
stroke ) 8000 or 9000 rev's like the boss 302 that was used in the Trans Am.
I read that there was a Boss 3302 developed for the Trans am that developed
over 500 hp and turned 9000 rpm. Does any one know anything about specing
out a build from a small block that generates over 500 hp and is good for
8500 to 9500 rpm with out blowing up?. Also for those of you that are
running the Modular engines do you know what kind of RPM's you can get out
of the 4.6 DOHC. I read on the ford racing web sight that  the m-601-s302
can be built to an engine with an max out put of 11200 hp and 8500 rpm.They
don't say how to build it.
