Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and I'm wondering if you guys could give me some ideas of how much it would cost to build a 450-500 HP 383 motor? I would be dropping the motor and bolting everything on so I'm mostly interested in the cost of the internals, head work/aftermarket heads or different heads, and performance manifold/carb. I would most likely be building a 4 barrel car but would like a six pack. I know a six pack set up is big money and there can be issues with hood clearance with a N96.
So can anyone share their cost or knowledge on how much I'd be looking to build an old stock 383 long block? If anyone wants to comment on how much it would most likely cost to rebuild a 4 speed I'd appreciate that as well.
I know there are many variables with parts, performance, and costs. Any recommendations or information would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'd be open to building a 440 motor but I don't have one and of course there's only so much money to go around. I do want a very fast and streetable car though--don't we all! Thanks in advance!!!!
