You might consider talking to some of the guys that run these cars and get some feedback before you make up your mind about who to go to get your engine from.

Dave,,, good luck with your upcoming project. Don't forget,,, there is a "Class Racer Builds" section,, so make sure to post pictures and take us along for the ride, during your build, as we all enjoy watching these racecars come to life,,,, especially a Thunderbolt!
Take care.

Do tell Afret.. Who builds Calverts motors? Just wondering since they tend to work well and not have a lot of issues.

Hi Dale. Don't know who. But with what a top of the line high riser engine costs, it sure won't hurt to get as much info as possible before jumping in head first.
Even a low buck slow CJ engine thrown together at home ends up costing a lot. A lot for me anyway on a military pension.

Will be nice to see another T-bolt in Stock or SS.

To my knowledge Blair has built both of Calvert's FE's the Hi-Riser Stocker motor in the 'Bolt and the 428CJ in the SS'r as well as the Hi-Riser in Tom Nolan's 'Bolt.

Like I said below. You need to have a healthy budget to build a competitive 'Bolt. I would guess the only thing that would be more expensive would be a Hemi. But I'm guessing here as I've never built a Hi-Riser or a 'Bolt.

Blair Patrick, for sure, they know how to keep it together. Very expensive car to build, heads, and intake are big bucks ! You better have deep pockets.

Saw Ray at Indy, he said if he told me what was in the motor, he'd have to kill me. I left it at that.
