Found this on Jalopnik, Mercury built LS7 NA V8 putting out 750 HP on 91 Octane. https://jalopnik.com/this-750-hp-ls7-crate-engine-from-mercury-racing-will-s-1823828455 Nothing like taking a GM supplied 505 HP motor and redoing the heads and increasing the HP by 245 to a neck snapping 750 HP. Redlines at 8,000 rpm You get a fully tuned ECU and Wiring harness to go with the engine. 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty Cost $32,995

I wouldn't want some nutcase checking his underwear for onion chunks in my front seat.
