How good are you at building engines? I perfer doing the work myself, but not everyone has the time, space, or know how. But saving on the labour, and knowing exactly how your engine was put together is worth it in my books.

$3695
408 LQ9
Eagle 4340 forged crank
Eagle 4340 Forged H-beam rods
Forged JE pistons
JE pro seal rings
Clevite H bearings
ARP studs
Balanced and Blueprinted
I would think something like this would be more cost effective than doing a LS1 stroked to that displacement. You would also save the extra cost of the sleeves for the LS1. L92 or the like heads will bolt right up.
After my 9" goes in I plan on getting one of these and tossing on a L92/L76 combo.
Just shop around, there are alot of sponsors with very good deals, that use quality parts.

I sell direct from the builder with the builders name on the engine. You attacked every engine builder on this site for the only reason to try and discredit me. Nice business you run there.
