355 SBC
I am selling my current engine (Long Block) only because I am building a 383 now. I am posting it for sale now while it is still in the vehicle so that a buyer may hear it run. It is a lower mileage engine (around 20,000 highway miles as I would drive it to between Decatur and Springfield IL on summer days) that has 4-5 years on the clock. Only the Long Block assembly is for sale. The intake, fuel injection, exhaust, pullies or accessories will not be sold.
Engine is:
4 bolt main out of a late 90's 2500 chevy van
1 piece rear main seal Hydraulic roller cam block
Entire engine block was smoothed/deburred and had oil passages chamfered, smoothed with some slightly enlarged.
Block was bored and then honed to .030 with torque plates
Main bearings were line honed
Oil standoffs/vent tubes installed in the lifter galley to prevent oil from draining on cam (once again roller cam block)
Crankshaft is the stock piece with an .010 undercut, also deburred/smoothed
According to GM specs for the vehicle it came from they are the Forged factory rods. Checked for cracks at this rebuild.
Keith Black Hypereutectic 2 valve relief pistons give a Compression ratio close to 9.7
Ported Trick Flow Kenny Dutteweiler aluminum heads. 65cc combustion chamber, 195 intake runner, 1205 Fel-Pro intake gasket and 1405 Fel-Pro exhaust gasket.
All Hydraulic roller lifters plus the spider are included.
1.6 ratio Roller Rocker
Entire Engine is with ARP bolts/studs
Rotating assembly was spin balanced
Aluminum oil pan and timing cover
Double roller timing chain
LT4 "Hot cam" which is 218/228 duration .525" lift
On the highway I was able to achieve a consistent 24-26 miles per gallon with that cam
Had the vehicle on a mustang dyno a few weeks ago and with 87 octane, 32* advance and a conservative tune the engine made 325/325 horsepower and torque at the rear wheels. Yes I have the print out to prove it. I have always read Mustang dynos read low so 345-365 is what most people have said it would have been on other dynos. With 92 octane and 34-36* advance engine could easily make even more power.
I will not unbolt the cylinder heads unless (to show good cylinder wall wear) I have a serious buyer ready to pay. If I remove them you know the next buyer will be upset and want me to buy him new head gaskets!
I built this engine myself and can answer any questions. I have pictures of the build but they were taken with my film camera, not the digital but yes you can see them.
Price is $1500.00 firm.
I do not have a vehicle to move this around in so you must pickup at my garage in the Western Chicago Suburbs. I would drive but you would of course have to pay for my renting a vehicle and gas. I can put it in a crate but you will pay for the crate and USPS/FedEx to pick it up.
