Default Cost of a 382???

A buddy of mine is looking at doing a 382 stroker motor. Turn-key cost is about $13.5K. I know MTI is getting $20K for 422's just wondering how that price stacks up with others out there.

the "$20K" MTI price includes much more than just the 427ci engine. Thats all of the bolt-ons, installation labor, computer tuning, tranny upgrades, converter or clutch upgrade, etc... and a warranty. See here: http://www.motorsporttech.com/fbody_engine02.asp

Figure a 382ci stroker would cost around $10-11K installed at most shops, and an all-bore 382ci would be about a grand cheaper.

Wow, why is that so expensive? Does that include ported heads too for that price?

I'd think it'd be $5k-$6k for the shortblock, $1500 for labor to install it in the car.

This is in a Z06 and included porting his LS6 heads, big nasty cam, a clutch upgrade, a 3.90 or 4.10 gear with hardened shaft, tuning, and a rollbar, etc... He already has headers and exhaust, so that wouldn't be in the cost of the package. But basically a 450-470 RWHP package...

..that is a huge amount of cash for a stroker! ..can't you buy a new block, buy a rotating assembly and assemble a short block for under $5K? ...just add ported heads and a cam and you have a 383 stroker long block...

A rollbar is included in the price of the package? Thats new.

Add up the individual prices for each thing and then see what they are charging for install, assembly, and liability.

If it includes rollbar and gears, thats a decent price.

I could get that deal for around $12k - 12.5K retail.
