hey, i was thinking, instead of putting in cam,lifters,msd ignition stuff,head work, ect... After i get done w/ all of that i would be pushed a few grand just on the engine. Well does any one kno the options i have as far as what crate engines i could get ?...my car is a tbi and it looks hard to find somethin like that. Im lookin for somethin around 355 hp, for around 4 grand. Now is there any engines that will fit in my car w/ those specs? ....and if it is carburetored the convirsion kit would cost me around a grand for that wouldnt it?

archemedes

www.sdpc2000.com should have something

ryann

thanx , but a link directly to it would be preferred to exactly wht im lookin for. Theres one that jegs sales , but im not sure if it would work, its carburetor'd , so im just asking here first before i send emails.
thanx again.

a little over $4000 but it's complete (bear in mind you could buy a short block and use your intake setup and save some money)

ryann

eh, little costly, but thanks

archemedes

well you gotta pay for quality

ryann

yea, just had another thought, get mine rebuilt or bored out, then add all of my goodies im gettin into it. And mabey even throw a sc or turbo on it.

archemedes

you can do that a little slower, and probably have a better quality engine (not mass produced you can get better tolerances)

TorqueDog

Grab an LS1 out of a C5. That'll suit exactly what you're looking for.

ryann

aprox. how much would i find those for?...and would it fit directly up to my engine?...or just have to do a few minor mods to it.

archemedes

it won't bolt up a used one is a couple grand

ryann

welp, i think i found out wht im going to do w/ teh engine. Theres a place localy that sponors races at the drag,ect... and all they do is engine and head work. They sell a 383 w/ over 400hp guarenteed. We've been there before to check it out and the service was great, the guy there took us back and let us look at everything they do to the engines and teh testing it goes through. Throught the build they dyno it a few times, and on the last dyno you get to go there and watch them dyno it. www.dixiemailorder.com ....if ne ones looking for new engines

im not trying to help them out ,so dont get the wrong idea, just thought it'd be helpfull to ne one who's looking.

archemedes

looks like you had a good experience to me so you should tell people
