    Default SBF engineering improvements

    Here is the dare: we need to dare someone to figure out how to cost effectively add direct injection to a SBF head. Bonus - variable cam timing.

    Obviously the electronics off of a newer car like the 2005 or an aftermarket computer will be required to make variable valve timing work.

    Looking at these as ways to unlock the potential of the SBF in a way that nobody has bothered with.

    If if there is a method of making it cost effective this would make stuff like LS and Coyote swaps obsolete. Hard to argue with a 427 CID Clevor monster that's direct injected and has vvt. These things crank out north of 1000 N/A HP with olds school tech. Just imagine what they would do with modern touches. Dart blocks would become rather required for sure, stock blocks be damned....

    I am sure if you have enough cash, you could adopt the LS vvt system since it is on the front of the cam in block and can advance or retard the cam.

    All it requires is throwing enough cash at the problem.

    Hasn't GM already done this? The LS looks a whole lot more like an updated small-block Ford than it does a classic small-block Chevy.
