NOBODY has an engine with the same quality components we use for these prices, and NOBODY has our delivery guarantee. In case you didn't hear about our new engine delivery guarantee...when you leave a deposit to have us build your engine, we will give you a date that the engine will ship. If we do not ship your engine by that date, your engine is 100% FREE, shipping and all. Guaranteed delivery times vary by how many orders we have at the time, but the sooner you get your order in, the less the delivery time will need to be. So...who thinks they are going to be the first to get a free motor? Give us a call.

All of the Diamond Pistons that we use have valve reliefs in them to start, so no extra cost!! If you would like to go custom pistons than you would be looking at $150 extra for the set. Let us know if you have anyother questions.

Thanks,

Damn you are killing me! Must resist......................

This is the best deal I have EVER seen for LSx engines on the net. Combo that with your delivery guarantee and I think you are going to be fairly busy over the next few months.

What does a kidney go for on eBay these days?

The thing about 427's is that the cubic inch number has a reputation of being a fire-breathing engine that shakes and idles like it is going to stall and is impossible to drive...but that is far from the truth. We put our 427 in a customer car a little while back. He wanted to drive it daily, which is really no problem for us because we can build them any way the customer desires. We built his for daily driving and put a very mild camshaft in it. H drives it every day that the sun shines and it idles like a stock C5 and drives very easy. But even with that VERY tame cam, FAST 90mm intake and 90MM throttle body through the factory mufflers, it still makes over 470 at the tires (mustang dyno). Mild or wild, we can build them any way you like. Just tell us what you want and we will make it happen.

Well, let me just say that nothing good lasts forever. We don't expect to doing a sale of this magnatude very often.

At this very moment, we guarantee that it will be done and shipped within 4 weeks from the time of deposit.

I can't believe more people are not all over this.

Jason - can you sign up now ( small deposit for example ) but wait for the winter to have the motor built/installed and still receive the discounted price?

For chitz and giggles please email me the cost of a forged 347 ( all Callies ) + Exedy dual disc clutch + install and tuning.

Thanks,

Mark

Jason when you talk about the 427 you built for your customer what did the engine wind up costing?

damn... guess Im am going to sell my 99 stang gt to pay for my must have... i dont smoke... but i may need to if i cant get in on this

Question though and its not going to be an easy one.

If i wanted a engine that could put 430ish to the wheels (I plan to autox) but if i wanted FI(Sc/TT) it would already have the engine set up for it besides tune of course what would the recommondation be...

So many options so not enough money

Thanks

What kind of economy does a mild 427 w/ 475-500 rwhp get on a easy interstate road trip? Not that it matters much, but I've never seen any mileage claims for the milder 427s.
