Hi ..nice looking engine. How does it have 12-1 compression ratio with flat top pistons?

pv68 · 08-08-2006, 10:45 PM

The heads are milled down to 58cc. The engine builder calculated the compression ratio.

67chevy2wd · 08-08-2006, 10:55 PM

That looks like a hell of a deal. Someday I will have a stroker.

And so close to me....Wish I had the $$

pv68 · 08-09-2006, 11:35 PM

need this gone
throw me a decent offer!!!

pv68 · 08-10-2006, 06:37 PM

price lowered to $2200

aggiedave98 · 08-15-2006, 04:48 PM

anybody have estimates on what kind of HP and torque for this?

this probably won't work in a 89 suburban w/ TBI with the stock computer or would it??

Werewolf · 08-15-2006, 05:57 PM

Stock computer would need to be tuned to get the most out of the engine. Sometime in the late 80's GM tapped a hole in the water jacket of the blocks for a knock sensor. If this engine isn't tapped for a knock sensor (probably not) then you couldn't use one, and the computer would throw a code unless you had that system disabled. That sensor is part of the ignition control system.

pv68 · 08-16-2006, 12:22 AM

engine was built to have 500 hp.
Price lowered to $2,000

ratrod67 · 08-16-2006, 06:24 AM

Wow! That's a screaming deal. Those heads are worth most of that $2000 asking price.

67GMCMatt · 08-16-2006, 08:47 AM

with 12 to 1 compression will that thing even run on pump gas?? Are you willing to ship this engine?

aggiedave98 · 08-16-2006, 08:53 AM

Guys,

I'm in Houston and am looking to build a 383 for my '89 Suburban but wanted to use pump gas. Do I have any options here? Would it be worth getting this to reuse any of the parts? I assume if the heads are ground down, then I'm not going to be able to get 9.5:1 or so, right? Sorry for the dumb questions.

aggiedave98 · 08-16-2006, 08:54 AM

I guess what I should have said is 87 octane...

bigjimzlll · 08-16-2006, 09:09 AM

The short block has flat top pistons. Heads with 72-76cc would net you 87 octane friendly. I imagine you could buy the engine and sell the heads easy enuff to but a set with bigger chambers.
For a lower compression engine the cam would be a little on the big side. It is just right for 12-1.

Anyways, you couldn't build this engine for 2000.00

pv68 · 08-16-2006, 06:14 PM

You definitly can't build this engine for 2 grand (trust me) and It will need racing gas. Shipping will probably be 300+ dollars.

HUEVUDO · 08-20-2006, 11:42 PM

I also live in DP i have the yellow and red trucks. I have never seen your truck. Do you still have the engine for sale? I will only run on race fuel right? How much for the engine?

pv68 · 08-20-2006, 11:53 PM

sold
