Default what do you think of this motor

A shop I know is trying to sell me this motor that they as a spare had for their race car. they say it'll handle everything I can throw at it, but I'm concerned more about the lack of water jackets. Has anyone here ever run a block like this before?

Wow, that would be a single pass & shut her down block! Straight drag only.

Yeah, I'm more worried with being able to tune the motor. Doing a Dyno run then letting it cool, I'm assuming would take forever.

Yeah, you would be looking at an all day project. Once its tune, it will be fun until it grenades...

Once it's tuned why would it grenade?

That motor would be a BEAST for a strip car... I wonder what rods it has, if they are just as beefy you could run massive boost.
