    My 1986 22' Classic 383 SBC engine.

    Engine puts out @ 450 HP at 5,600 rpm with an Alpha 1 and Hydromotive Q-IV 22 labbed & runs an indicated 76 MPH. Engine will be listed soon as the new 434 is almost finished. Installing a new Bravo 1 and CMI headers with the new engine in addition to a full dry sump system. You will note the Oberg oil filter and Canton oil thermostat. It also has a Barnes internal dry sump system. Uses a complete MSD dual ignition system with remote timing. Flip a switch and go to the secondary system including a second rev-limiter, which you can have a higher limit module in. Have an MSD knock sensor and dual Edelbrock air/fuel ratio monitors. Have a oil temp sending unit wired to a dash switch to switch between water temp and oil temp using the same guage. Didn't want to change the original dash. Hope you appreciate 5 years of upgrades.

    Just my .02, which in this economy, is only worth .01, and actually is less than that since my original .02 isn't really worth .02.

    It depends on if someone wants it complete - exhaust, closed cooling, etc., or the basic engine. I was looking for $5,500 for the basic engine. It only has @ 30 hours on it.

    That is all Alpha, small hole bell housing and the toad stool coupler.
