Hey everyone,

I was thinking of buying a crate motor of Jegs or Summit. The thing is, I want a motor that i can blow the door's off my buddy's cars/trucks

but im in a limited budget

. So im deciding to build one, i was just wondering if someone could help me choose out parts to build a 360-400hp(or more

) motor but on a limited budget of 3000! (Preferably building a 350)

Just a suggestion....post this in the 'Engine and Drivetrain' forum, you'll get a better response over there. Also look in the desktop dyno sticky in Engine and drivetrain forum. Doing a search on this forum should give you some ideas.

Building a 360-400hp 350 is might be doable for $3000, but it depends on how much of the work you can do yourself.

he said it best but for 3k you should be able to build a pretty quick motor for the street.

There is more to it than just engine to go fast.

Transmission and gear ratio and getting it to hook up.

There's fast and getting to fast, fast.
