Is this a decent setup?

I saw a 383 stroker short block assembely for sale that had

Block DES 4 Bolt, seasoned core, cleaned, magnafluxed, decked w/BHJ fixture, bored, honed w/BHJ torque plates, brass freeze plugs and cam bearings installed, right hand dipstick, painted black standard






Crank DES Forged 4340 steel, 3.750" stroke, 1 piece rear seal.





Pistons Lunati Forged .350" dome, 11.5 compression w/76cc head



Cam & Lifters Lunati Solid flat tappet


Would that be pretty decent for a supercharger applied engine? They are selling it for $3,950.

Watch out for the compression.
A supercharged engine need to run lower compressions that 11.5.

I hear ya I actually emailed the guys that make it and asked if I could get lower compression pistons and they said they'd include them instead of the 11.5's for free.

Re: Is this a decent setup?

which heads are on it? doesnt seem like enough money for a decent 76cc head but just enough for some smogger head...
