Default Solid Roller 383 Lt1

OK guys this is my personal motor.First a fast run through on the history.
I built this motor and put it in my car.The car had 3 or 4 trips on it from the house to the shop.I put it on the dyno and leaned out number 8.We took this motor out and replaced number 8 piston and number 6 piston.Even though everything was new we reringed it,put new cam bearings,new rod bearings,new main bearings,and did a new valve job on the heads.Number 8 was resleeved.
So basicaly this already new motor is BRAND NEW again.
The car was a 700 r4 with a 9 inch.The motor is built for nitrous.On motor with a three step colder plug it put out right under 400hp and 400 torque.
On a 200 shot it put down 622hp and 735 foot pounds of torque.We skiped to the 400 shot and the right bank went lean.
The motor was built by Bernard Racing Engines ( A freind of Mine)
So here is a run through on the motor. With a estamite on what the parts were.
Machine shop cost.. around 1300
Comp Pro Magnum Rockers 7/16 -280.00
Comp Solid Lifters-315.99
Laser custom cam-330.00
Valve springs-291.95
Screw in rocker studs-28.95
Head Studs-145.95
Double roller timing chain-75.00
Custom Valve covers pwder coated black and stud girdle-440.00
Cola Crank-800.00
Miloden Splayed Caps-215.00
Eagle H beam Rods-495.95
SRP Forged Pistons-580.39
File fit Rings-96.99
Copper Head Gaskets-100.00
High Volume oil pump-40.00
Oil pump pick up-10.00
Clevite Bearings 120.00
Cam Bearings-32.00
Brass Freeze Plugs-12.00
Ported and Polished Stock casting heads-1600
Lower Half gaskets-75.00
Hardend push rods-150.00
Guide plates-?
This motor is also ole ringed.
The motor is still at the machine shop getting put together.I got the stupid idea of parting this car out and buying a vette.Then I ended up converting it into a LS1 car.I wish I would have stayed with this LT1 set up but I am to commited at this point.
If you want to by a really nice motor with out all the wait of the machine shop and no Core charge this is the one to buy.Im sure I have left some thing out but I tried to cover it for the most part.
I know there is more stuff missing but basically to build this motor with core you are going to have right under 8,000 in it.
Ill take 6,000 for it.Valve covers, Oil pan,and timing chain cover included.
This is a good deal

Sounds like a nice build but 400 hp 383??? Unless I missed it you're running stock heads right? That might explain a lot of it, just curious.
