A lot of the stuff on the list is not needed or overdone. It might be the way *you* would build one, but not what's required.

and what bearings would you source for this project? (rod and Main)
IJ. said:My Motor is built much the same as Gary's motor in his rail so in theory "could" make 1000hp with the right supporting mods.
Would I try it?
HELL NO!
I know how much stress and deflection there is in a 7M at a sustained 500rwhp and I consider Rich's "list" to be a nice starting point and for my style of use I'd expand in a few areas.
At this point a 1000hp street 7M is pure fantasy as no one is close yet on boost.
suprarich said:IJ please feel free to expand.
IJ your motor is built beyond Gary's spec. It is almost funny how little Gary has done to a 7m to get the work out of it that he has. Your block plus a gt4202 and fuel will do a 1000hp. but like you said. Why? Other than to prove a point, or to class race, it is pointless to spend the money. But then again, I have seen a lot of things in my day, and a 1000 hp all boost 7m is not one of them. Except for Gary's of course.
What is intermitent use? What is sustained use?suprarich said:IJ - I stressed a side oiler, but it was not recieved very well. But remember, this is only a intermitent use 1k hp. Not sustained. A billet crank cost me 3200.00 dollars to make, but your right, it is still out of budget for most of the 7m crowd.

IJ. said:No matter how good or seasoned a 7M block is it's still a big long wet noodle.

1k HP
ls7 + twin turbo call it a day.
Also MoTeC somewhere in there...........
