don't take this the wrong way...but that would be a big mistake...I don't know if you bought it new or used...but say you bought it new...you paid...$700 for it out the door with everything....in order to beef everything up to run a big block...you can/will drop another $1k into it...if your wanting something with more power..then when you think it is time sell the revo and get into 1/8 scale....either buggy or truggy...I have done the entire BIG BLOCK REVO and in my opinion it is not worth it. And I have raced against REVO's with the big blocks in them and they did not last the entire race due to breakage...the truck was built around the 3.3...which if you learn how to tune it and know what it likes the 3.3 is a good motor...and with the engine replacement they offer you can stay reasonably cheap in running a REVO..but like alot of owners I went to e-bay and picked up a 2nd motor to keep as a back up incase I lost 1...
