Just thought Id start a couple build threads....
Heres a 468" 9:1 Silvolite or Speed Pro cast pistons(this one is Silvolite), King Bearings, Comp hydraulic flat tappet cam, recurved duraspark, D3 with a mild port job on the exhaust side with Comp springs, retainers and locks to match cam specs, Weiand Stealth intake, Holley 750 vac sec.
Makes 400hp/500tq all day long, runs on 87oct pump gas, has excellent street manners, plenty of vacuum for power brakes and works well with a stock torque converter. A turnkey copy of this engine will run $4000 with a $350 core or exchange. (short block ONLY - block, crank, rods, pistons, King cam main and rod bearings, std volume Melling oil pump and a gasket kit - $1500 with a $250 core). Painted VHT color of choice. Currently we are 6-8 weeks out from start to finish once initial deposit has been paid. Upgrades available at cost.
