Nice motor...I almost bought a zz4 from Sallee chevy........but after 5 calls of 20 minutes each on hold with no response from the parts/engine dept. I gave up and bought a 383/440 from AR racing--(Mark answered my first call)............and Sallee Chev is within driving distance from me...........Too bad their customer service sucks....Great engine though

My 70 LS5 is factory rated at 390HP and 500 ft-lbs of torque. I don't mistreat it, but I do drive it hard. Haven't broken anything yet.

Thats a very nice motor. I probably would have been tempted to buy one if they were available before I bought my 383. But what's the price tag on it?
