im looking for a street/strip motor that has 450 hp or more but i have a budget of 6000 and im in Los angeles so i dont want to spend a ton of money on freight. but i want a quality engine with a warranty and it does not matter if it is a crate or a remanufactured.

 

[slow3oh]

Yearone.com sells a 350 that makes 400 hp for 3k. its the best deal out there imo.

and you could probably squeeze some extra horses out of it by adding a couple bolt ons.

what kind of bolt ons

 

[bowtie0069]

How about a 500+ h.p. 383"? It's not finished yet, waiting for the cam to be ground and head porting finished up. New 4340 crank, New 6" forged rods, New Manley forged pistons, New aluminum heads, 4-bolt main block, etc.........

 

[slow3oh]

what kind of bolt ons

eh. well it dynoed at 420 horse really so you would only need about 30 hp and i believe that could be achieved with a Fuel Injection set up and some nice headers maybe a cam??


why buy a motor you know nothing about compared to one you get a warranty with from year one.

that year one crate is from a company called rhino peformance. thats who makes t for year one
I have had that motor for about three years i guess it is now and its been great
i put a good champ oil pan on it and other then that havent done anything to the motor
in my nova 1974 hatch full interior no fiberglass car with a tko 5 speed and a 3.73 gear in the 10 bolt ive done a best of 12.3 at 110 with a junk 60 foot time of 1.9 on that pass i think it was
the engine makes plenty of power
oh yea thats with a set of headman elete headers the 1 5/8 tube into 2.5 magna flow exhaust with a edel 750 on top
its a good motor for what you pay and if you get it through rhino when i bought it anyway there was no shipping

LS1, throw a cam and decent heads (should be able to get them for around $1000 for a good set of heads) on it and you will be near 450hp AT THE WHEELS.

I'm with this guy, i'm doing an carbed 6.0 LQ4 that will put down 435-450hp to the wheels with with 5.3 heads cut for 5.7 int. valves (10.9:1 comp.) & custom spec'd cam.Then I i will be adding a 150 shot to it. I picked up the shortblock for $400, heads for 125 w/ rockers, vic jr for 285, holley 750 for 300, coils for 75, msd 6010 box for 350, you get the point. It is a pretty cheap set-up that yields great results. I am in the L.A. area too, i can hook you up with a friend who owns a scrap yard.
FYI, LSx series bottom ends are good too low 600hp levels w/ a simple rod bolt upgrade. Gotta love 6 bolt mains =) A nice set of 205 AFR heads will make GREAT power with the right cam. Give tony mamo over at afr a call, he made 550whp+ with a 383 LS1 in his vette.

 

[HAHA I 1]

My 2000 Z28 with a stock short block, 232/238 cam, ported 5.3 heads, LT headers, duals, and an LS6 intake dynoed almost 450rwhp with a 9" rear (eats a lot of power). I added a ported FAST 90/90 setup, roller rockers, injectors, and some tuning, but never redynoed. I am confident it was close to 500rwhp. I have an iron 6.0 LQ9 motor that is going in the 67 Wagon and an LS2-based 402 for the 66 Sedan.
