Just as a point of reference an LPE 383 package with Callies, Oliver, JE rotating assembly, CNC/hand ported LT1 big valved heads, double springs/titanium retainers, 58mmTB, 211/219 cam, etc, etc.. installed in the car with all the bolt ons and dyno tuned is $14,200...At least with LPE you know what you're getting...

yeah thats quite a bit high. and I doubt the 450 HP FLYWHEEL mark either. not with those heads/cam. maybe cnc ported LT4 heads. even then Id think the cam is too small to make that.

it does come with alot of bolt ons though.

World Motors Merlin BB 632ci 800hp turn key lol


what LT5
Lotus designed motor that started back around 1988 and came available I believe first in 1990, only ever in Corvettes. DOHC TPI-ish looking monster.
