A friend has a 377 for sale, heres the ad, just copied and pasted so I didnt have to paraphrase.

377 ci LT1

- 2 bolt main block +.030
- Offset ground crank to 3.625 stroke 3.480 stock
- 6" small journal Forged H-beam rods
- Mahle completely coated power pack piston kit around 10.5:1 comp. with stock CC chambers (best money can buy IMO)
- CC306 cam
- Pro gear double roller timing set

This motor is just the shortblock as of now. All work was done by Auto Rons. This is brand new just add heads and intake of your choice and rock this thing. This motor will make great power!!!

$1500

Dave, how do those AFR heads, flow less than Quinn's LT1 casting heads? I figured those AFR would out do the lt1's, unless those are just outta the box AFR's.

Problem there is you are ASSuming AFR is good based on advertizing and reputation without regard to real world results.

The more I learn the more I realize reputations can be bought and that many reputations are built on the word of mouth of fools who don't know any better.

lol, I figured you'd say something like that.

Ask Mr. Shepard, what kind of heads he's running? Those are real world results.
