Default 500hp 12v

Ok so I was curious if anybody on here would have any idea as to how much it would cost to purchase a 12v engine with around 500hp? Or how much it would cost to have someone build one for me?

Are you talking building the one in your truck or building you one and then swapping it in? Building your existing one will be much cheaper than having one built.....by a few thousands to say the least. What parts are you looking for exactly to achieve your 500 hp goal or do you have any idea?

I'm saying like if I would have someone like industrial injection build an engine for me how much would it cost me? Like 10k? I don't know what ever mods have to be made like injectors,turbo,head bolts, pump mods.

Defiantly don't go to industrial. You want your current truck to make 500 whp? Come to canada I'll build you a truck 😜 To make a reliable 500whp you'd need about $15k compounds would be ideal, larger injectors, pump work, studs, transmission. Fuel system. General supporting mods. There's many many options.

What kind of supporting mods would you recommend other than studs? I'm not worried about the trans so what would it cost without that?

500 is an easy number to hit without pulling your motor. Unless something is internally wrong that is. If your near MD I could come help

94 12valve, I know it's an easy number to hit but to bulletproof it at the same time to be reliable for pulling 20k once in awhile.

I should probly mention that the truck isn't going to be a DD but I still want it to be drivable.

the biggest problem you will run into is the cooling system. towing that heavy with that much power is going to build a lot of heat in the motor. When you want to pull that much weight it would be best IMO to take some power away.

94 12valve, do you think putting water/meth kit on it would help at all or not much?
