couple pics from machine shop Block has been under the knife all week to finish up final machine work before assembly next week... The motor should have been done a month ago but numerous vendors took a little longer than expected. Now all the parts are ready to go so assembly starts monday.... I snapped a few pics at the builders of the Pro-Gram Engineering 4 bolt splayed mains after the engine got align-bored and then some pics of the Oliver billet steel rods going in it.... It's a SHAME those things have to ride in oil and are never seen....
enjoy... Oh forgot, engine is a solid roller 383 nitrous LT1, AFR 227's, single plane manifold, Gen VII DFI, Accufab throttle body, Jesel shaft rockers, Lunati crank, JE pistons.... looking to make 650 HP on motor and 1000 on spray. (400 shot divided into 2 stages)...

can i ask how much that motor is costing?
Seriously though I'm about 9K in the motor right now and I have yet to recieve the final bill for machining and assembly... I'm expecting about 1500-2000 for that... And the only other pieces I have yet to pay for is the Victor Jr EFI manifold ($1000) and the accufab 2000cfm throttle body (600)....
Motor only once it's done will probably be about 12-13K....
Everything combined probably 20g's....
Bizz-heheheh 355 + hotcam... my wallet and wife wishes it was just that

Mines in the machine shop right now as well, hoping for early April, the pistons have been taking forever. Good luck with everything, keep us posted on how she comes out man.

What color you painting it...
Did you have the 227 AFR's ported or no. Im looking into doing a 396 LT1
Final Machine bill was over $3,000
That is one sexy buildup! Definately post up some more pictures
Sounds like you'll be hittin' single digits in the 1/4

Wow you've got a small fortune in that thing, of course as far as single digit motors go, it's about average cost. Good luck man, looks like it's going to set your Z on it's bumper
