What would someone be willing to spend for the 396 from PEPE Everyone knows how well this 396 did before when Brett, aka "PEPE" owned it. 500 r.w.h.p. n/a. before, I just had it freshened, a little more compression, and larger cam. Dynoed it on the engine dyno. 698 n/a. It is the best of the best in parts. Before anyone asks, it's for the long block minus the LT4 intake. There's 20k tied up in this engine

LOL, PEPE is now a 25.2 car with a pro stock small block, glide, and a 400 shot on it. The legend lives on. I am very motivated to sell this engine, just need to see what it'd be worth to the right person. I promise you I'd be happy to get less than half of what is tied up in it.

I know exactly what you're saying, I'm practically giving it away. I just spent $4400.00 having it freshened up, and making a couple of upgrades.

Jonez Z, Brett is supposed to give that to me. I'll copy and paste what I know.

It is an incredible motor and I would love to own it but I do not have the fund's.
This is the problem. It is a very small market much like the 409 in the 60s. one day it is the hotest engine made and the next it is replaced and dead.
To many bill's right now or I would make a play for it
Interested in any 18* stuff LOL!
