Re: how much does it cost to build and engine from scratch?

It all depnds on the parts you use. Building a stock 350 won't cost that much. I'm building a 383 stroker and I expect it be around 4000 by the time its completed.

Re: 383 Cam Selection?

comp cams actually said they would grind one for me at no extra charge. might be worth the wait if you're concerned about clearance issues. my .570/.576 cam clears everything no problem.

the torque bar connects to the tailshaft on the transmission. there should be a rubber mount that it slips into, then the mount its self gets bolted to the trans.
