Initial build the engine produced 470 rwhp on 91 octane pump gas with zero knock on a conservative tune. 487 rwhp on a “race” tune, still on pump gas. With the nitrous system (dual 50hp shot, 100hp total) it made 634 rwhp at 5,250 rpm (going lean, so we let out) and 750 ft lbs at 3,600 rpm. I ended up burning a piston and thus the rebuild. The prior motor was 11.9:1 comp ratio with a solid roller cam of 248/250 (@ .050”) and .662”/.665” lift, 112ls, 108 cam timing. I got a solid 10,000 miles out of the motor, racing and driving many freeway miles. I would drive 105 miles to the track, swap tires, run some 10’s and drive 105 miles home. Best the car went NA was 11.22 @ 122mph and best N2O was 10.78 @ 129mph with a NOS 5176 kit. 1.51 60 ft was the best with the 6-spd and a near full weight car. Full interior (dynomat), CD player/stereo, AC, CC, power everything, etc.

The engine builder figured this new motor (fresh rebuild) would be good for 75-90 hp more than the first engine. His claims have always been conservative. I was hoping for 515-550 rwhp out of this engine with the T-56.

Asking $9,900 for the complete long block with tins (valve covers, oil pan, intake, fluidamper, vented Opti, etc)

Asking $2,350 for the other parts.

Together, total package price: $11,500

Basically all you need to run 9's in a lightened F-body (possibly full weight) with a properly setup suspension.

Will deliver within 200 miles. Have a hard grey plastic shipping crate to transport or ship the engine in. Such as:

Just to let anyone know that is interested.....B&B is one of the best solid roller LT1/4 engine builders out there. This motor will perform. I had a very similar motor in my car that B&B did the heads/cam for and it made 485rwhp on pump gas. It went 11.3@126 on motor with 17" rims on all 4 corners, nitto drag radials, stock 10 bolt rear end, and no dyno tune (only tuned on the street).

Brian, sorry to see you selling the motor! Hope all is well.

Thanks for the words. B&B was truly a great shop to work with. They were the first shop that would return my calls, never gave me the runaround, came in ON BUDGET, helped me through the process, and never took advantage of me. The 3 other machine shops/engine "builders" that I dealt with in the past did all the above to a certain degree. B&B's engine also performed better then they had prepared me for. I was 100% satisfied with their customer service and their work/product/results.

Glad to hear your motor did well too...

Where did you get those valve covers??? I love that look and am wanting a pair however, they're prolly stupid expensive.

Jeff Johnson's Billet Fabrication. $330 was the original price.

I do have a pair that had one damaged in transit. Maybe salvageable with some metal work. I'd let that set go for substantially less...
