[V8] Nikasil coating for cyl walls

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

Takeing into account what it costs to sleeve and bore a motor (75-100 a hole) that ain't a too shabby price. My vote would be to go as big as safely possible then use custom pistons with lowered compression and boost the snot out of it with a pair of gt35's and a big ol hairy blower sittin between the banks.
