Check the sponsors. TSP has a good deal on a LS3 based 418 right now.

We have a few 408's and 402's in stock, as well as a 418 or 2. Or we could build you a custom setup. Feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to put together an itemized estimate for you.

Check out VA Speed. All machine work is done in house to some incredible tolerances. They have total control of the builds from the machine work to final assembly.
