Don't get me wrong. Lunati 383s are super strong and very high quality. It's just hard to find someone willing to pay full bullet when there are so many other good choices out on the market. If you haven't checked lately, this is a depressed resale market for performance parts. Lots more sellers than buyers. Prices are low. Lots of people hurting out there and they're dumping their parts for cheap.

Just don't shoot the messenger.

i just sold my 20k mile lunati all stroke motor with the pro mods rods (not the billet) for 3200

You are correct... I was thinking about the Darton sleeves. Iron block can go to 414ci with a 4" stroke.
