Complete 383 small block race engine
This motor was built for high RPM endurance in circle-track / road race application but my project is beginning to stagnate. This would also make a pretty nasty drag powerplant with nitrous or some boost. The pile of parts used to build this engine is worth more than I'm asking for the whole motor, so I will consider parting - but it'd be a shame since the motor is all together and just broken in. I'm looking for $5500
Made 500hp @ 6500rpm and 480 ft-lb @ 4900 on the brake dyno (have dyno sheet from Sept 1 '07). I ran the motor with a Race Demon 750 carb. Great oil pressure - no issues whatsoever. Motor was taken off the dyno and has been sitting in storage since waiting for a sale.
383 .050 over. Milodon 4-bolt splayed caps.
Fully balanced and blueprinted. All specs are documented.
ARP bolts throughout
AFR 195 76cc heads milled ".020 to attain 10.5:1 CR
Childs & Albert file fit rings for nitrous
Scat forged crank
Lunati Streetrace 6" rods
Ross Racing Forged N20 pistons
Pro Race SFI balancer
Jomar rocker arm stud girdles
Comp 294S 248/248
Summit 1.65 roller rockers
Melling High volume oil pump
port-matched Victor Jr intake

OK I'm getting no bites on this thing at all. what's it worth? I know what it costs to build a motor like this from scratch.
