It's worth (2) 400 blks to most anyone building a 350/383" motor due too the tougher blk and the thicker cylinder walls and will run cooler than any 406" engine ever will. I just finished a 383" for a customer with a 3970010 blk last week, which will produce around 575 HP and live running alcohol injection.

I know what you mean as far as reliability ect. and yes it could be made to a nasty built motor. but its not what I was told I was getting... and I want prepared to take additional money to build the motor I thought I was getting..
The point is the truck was misrepresented and I would'nt have gave up 2 turn key, track ready cars for a mild 350 powered c10.....
