Default 700 hp?

What engine is this? That actually sounds like a great deal.

Only thing I could find on Golen's site was an LTx longblock built for a supercharger ($8500). Add a supercharger, ported intake, injectors, fuel pump, headers, tune, ect, ect, and your talking ~$15k.

As badly as I want to believe that, it MUST be a typo!

Actually, I purchased the shortblock of that above motor. The motor has H beam rods, forged crank, forged pistons, and its o-ringed. His complete motor includes heads, cam, etc, but does not include the blower.

Yeah but it's only the long block, SC etc. not included.

*Normally an actual dyno sheet would be included along with these engine specifications but due to the number of variables and wide range of possible configurations with this long block when adding a major component such as a supercharger, a dyno sheet would be relatively meaningless. Aside from the supercharger itself other considerations are intake configurations, throttle bodies, fuel injectors and the custom tuning of the ECM. But rest assured, no matter which path you take with added components, this long block will be a rock solid start to your forced induction build-up.

600 fwhp sounds a little optimistic for that combo at the boost. Otherwise I have no doubt that is a stout engine. I agree with the others, by the time you put it all together, you're in over 15 grand. Ask me how I know.

Its only a 383 long block. Its not a complete engine. And it does not come with the supercharger.
