Does that sound like a fair price for a fully forged 383 with the 4 bolt splayed main cap conversion?

The assembly and kit sound a bit high...but if you had them purchase it, or just bought a kit, then your going to pay more. You could have saved about 500 on the rotating assembly if you had peiced it together yourself from different suppliers. Other then that looks great for a VERY solid motor.

I forgot that the price included CC 977 springs & seats, Speed Pro Hell Fire rings, clevite bearings, & melling oil pump. They also spent time clearancing the oil pan to clear the dipstick tube....so that almost totals $500.00.

How much power and boost do you think the motor can handle?
