The first prototype built for Olson cost $125,000, but expect future full-race versions to be a more reasonable $110,000

"Chug-a-lug: Many once thought 320-cfm big-block rectangular intake ports (bottom) were “too big” for many apps. But 900-plus cubes need beer-can–sized ports (top). These 680cc intake runner volume ports flow 740 cfm at 1.300-inch lift. The longer heads’ spread port centerlines allow a wider, rounder shape that’s more efficient than old-school, narrow, tall ports."

Amazing, great that people still are into building big engines. Looking forward to see cars racing it

Lol:

And by "big" we don't just mean a wussy 496, a puny 540, or even a wimpy 572. No, we're talking giant, megafauna, Pleistocene-epoch massiveness here-you know, 1,000,000 years BC big, 1,000-pound saber-toothed tiger big, 10-foot-tall beaver big
