The way it's looking right now I'd say a Mercury Racing 450R Outboard.

That old Swartz 502 would be a back marker.

Well that would depend on if you are running Hydraulic steering or a cable system.

The engine bolted in the car that doesn't lift.

Yeah, it was a joke. I assumed it was obvious.

john kasse has a small block ford making nearly 1200hp on one four barrel with his new head , dont know if it will hold up on a dirt track but it is a beast....

I'd assume horsepower matters more than torque. That said, possibly a big bore, short stroke combo? I dunno.

Mike Duvall built one back in 00' he took to the first Bristol he dubbed, "Brutus". No idea how big it was though.
