Default Engine to be going to shop soon

Well went down to talk to the guys who are going to do my engine today & its not going to be as bad as I thought it was going to be. Only $1500 + taxes & thats including almost everything to make the engine a short block including boring it .010 over to make it a 355, The only things I need is the Crank Shaft & the Connecting rods from Ellis lol (which reminds me Ellis are you coming down to the swapmeet on sunday (the 13th???))

I have all the money I need now for the short block just have to decide on which heads & Cam I want to make the power & to finish it all off.

Thanks, Perry

Thanks for the info. Also, I guess I should have asked first as I just noticed you have several cars in the stable, but do they work on F & Y body cars with Gen III LSx motors?

Thanks again

Perry
