complete with pan and full build sheet? Maybe 2500. I got my last motor for 3000 with a cola crank, manley rods and JE pistons. Gapless rings, arp pro head studs, new GMPP lifter set, isky cam (sold for 200), and a canton pan.

Just the block and rotating assembly. It does have the built sheet. I happen to have a 3.75 Cola crank I could swap in though.

I bought my used 355 with similar parts and cost me $1000. When i was looking for a fully forged 383 they were in the 1800-2500 range.
