Dart shp 406 vs ATK 383
Posted this in another forum.....
My shop is saying $6400 for Dart SHP with all forged rotating assembly with forged crank, fully balanced, CPcarrillo pistons with Molnar rods. Plus labor.
I see ATK has fully forged 383 for lil over 3K.https://www.eastwood.com/atk-chevy-383-shrt-blk-4bolt-1pc-forged-flat-top-sp53.html
If I won the lottery sure why not spend the $6K on a killer motor? But I am not made of money. I am 2 years away from retirement from the Marine Corps and am at my last duty station and figured the Camaro sat long enough (10 years) . The engine that was in the car had a gnarly cut in the bore, and explained why my 385 HSR was only making 320rwhp and lil more torque.
Kinda long winded and I apologize but give me your feedback
