Still for sale for the same price? And what else is needed to install it?

Well.....I have an overseas buyer, but I don't know if I'll be able to comply with the requirements to ship to Europe. It's a shame, really, because being over there, his options are a bit limited.

But.....I should know by tomorrow. If I can't conduct the transaction with him, I'll let you know.

Items needed?

1. All your working accessories already on your car that you want to reuse except the oil pump and timing chain (already installed);

2. Probably new motor mounts;

3. Heads & intake with gaskets;

4. PCM tune.

I'd also recommend 30LB to 36LB injectors (no need to go bigger). A cam is already installed.....which you can choose to keep or sell.

Alright thanks. Because I was offered a 350 for $3,000 but if a forged 383 isn't that much more and I can buy stock heads for now until I buy some LE heads, it may be worth it in the long run since I want to do a 383 anyway. How high will the engine spin to reliably? Also I'm an f body, not a b body just to clear that.

The rotating assembly would be good to 7K+ RPMs.....the true limit will depend on your valve train.

Yep....that's why I say use ALL your accessories already on the car.

This engine won't come with any mounting brackets, so you'll need to have your block pulled, stripped, and those stripped parts placed on this block.

Do that.....and you'd be good to go

Alright get back to me if you make a sales or not. The guy I'm getting this done said he'd charge me $1,500 to install either the engine he offered me or any other engine I decide to go with. Add a set of $150 stock heads for now and I should be able to at least drive again... Hopefully.
