SO what do you call a decent price? My short block with Callies is $4292, $250 less for Eagle. It cost money not only for parts but to build it right. Either you check one and call them all good or you check them all. You either line hone or you dont, and if you do are you using all the fasteners? Lot of steps to a proper build and that takes time and time is money. We can set you up with an engine built taking every step to ensure its proper construction. IF you interested pm me and we can get started.

I'm building a nitrous huffing beast with WCCH L92 heads for someone right now. Callies, custom Wiseco pistons GFX rings, Morel lifters, ARP. Your basic bullet proof 408.
