sorry....no trips west planned...at least not for quite a while.

Here's the text from the add...giving more info and pricing
:

The 383 is a professionally built and balanced "old school" 383, using a .030 over 3970010 high performance block and a 400 sbc crank (and rods I think, either way they're stock rods) with TRW hyp. flat top pistons. It was built for torque with a hydraulic Melling MTC-1 cam and true roller timing set. Its also got a Melling Hi Perf. oil pump. Specs for the cam are (for I/E) 278/288 (or 204/214@.050) with .420/.443 lift with a 112 (107/117) C/L. Its got a small lope to it, unless you hook the dizzy up to an intake vacuum port instead of a timed port on the carb (it advances the timing, cleaning up the idle), then it idles like stock. The heads are iron 75cc (milled some tho) sbc heads with 2.02/1.60 stainless steel valves and hardened seats installed.

Back to the "complete part":
383 stroker long block as detailed above
Proform "Chevrolet BowTie" aluminum valve covers
Holley Street Dominator intake
Holley 650 double pumper carb
March "custom series" silver powder coated underdrive perf. pullies w/aluminum brakets
Proform aluminum high volume water pump
400 SBC harmonic balancer
externally balanced flexplate
GM HEI w/Accel cap/rotor/wires
Accel shorty plugs
stock oil pan
stock starter
stock p.s. pump
stock 93 amp internal reg. alt.
stock hi perf. fuel pump
chrome 14" air filter - (needs a 4" filter to look better)

Asking $1200 for everything. If you wanted just the motor, its $1050 or the TH350 trans w/converter is $250. Buy them both and save $100. They are also on those nice little 4 wheel storage cradles which I will throw ($80 value) in.

I've had the motor for a couple years (bought it from a friend when he upgraded) and although it was built in the late 90's, it only has maybe 10k miles on it total. It was built for a weekend toy 70's Camaro before I got it. It does not smoke on startup or while running. It uses a quart of oil every 2000mi. or so. It starts and runs great and makes great power. In my short/step...it'll fry the tires in 1st from a slow roll (not just from a stop) and into 2nd for a couple of seconds before finally grabbing. Trans also chirps or breaks tires loose into 2nd depending on how hard you're on it.


For everything there...I think its a fair price and good deal. I was planning to keep the 383 and the trans for my next project...but I'm out of funds for my LSx build/chassis drop, so they got to go.
