Depends on the curve. May have 90% of that torque at 2,000 RPM. Otherwise smaller cam, carb and manifolds would put it in the zone you need.
That would be fun at the midnight motor home drags but with peak torque at 4,200 rpm not very practical for our purposes. I'm thinking I could build a badass racing lawnmower though.;)
And different pistons; 11:1 isn't very tow friendly.- LOL..... That $1800 price is for the kit parts not the engine.
About $9000 total. - Well fun to look. Not a street legal engine but if you added fuel injection and dual turbos you could probbabley bump it to over 1000 hp.As the saying goes "now your talking".

You too can own one for $1,827.57 but I wouldn't recommend it for regular street use and certainly not for RVing.
