Reliable Engine builder
I need some input on reliable shops to build a street/strip 383, mainly to be used in street.
The idea is to have a Builder (example: Jegs, Shafiroff..summit ecc) and have a long block assembled with or without cam installed.
Im in Italy so when received the built engine..
... buy parts like heads and accessories to finish the build .
thanks

thats a pretty stout engine, and $6,300 is a good price for that setup (forged crank another $500).
you might want to get a cam with less duration if your running with a computer EFI ?
