High rpm 427 bbc build 940hp?

Back about 1985 had a 420" big block in a 69 nova for SS/BM. Had a crower crank made at 3.60 stroke, alum. rods, alum. bow tie heads, titanium valves, cast tunnel ram and 2 dominators. That motor saw 8500rpm and ran a best of 9.59 at pomona. Really should have run quicker and made more power than it did but we did manage to win the mile high's with it in 1989.

The motor is still in the car owners garage just as we ran it back then. Dominators and all, and he would like to sell it.
