This would be pointless and a complete waste of your money.

If I were you I'd just find a low mileage OEM shortblock, pick up an AI H/C package and all the supplementals, then you'd be 410+whp all day long.

Proven parts, simplest to comprehend, easiest route, period.

I would consider him, but I'm in Wisconsin. Not too many options around here, and I can't afford to ship an entire motor halfway across the country.

What are you trying to spend? Have you considered the half-dozen or so options mentioned by respectable members of the forum in this thread?

For a crate/long block you're not even in the right ballpark for your HP goals. For 500whp you're looking at closer to 10k, much less 3-4k.
