The motor was worth it I think, it was a crate motor from chevy HT383E (high torque, emissions legal) they call it a direct replacement for the 350...it kind of is but REQUIRED a tune to bring it to life. You still use the same fuel system as stock, we just bumped it up a bit on the through put. It is about maxed now so when I cam it I will need to upgrade the fuel system. i might pick up another 15hp or so. It this wasn't my DD, it would be carbed and well very different. My dad and all his buddies are really into SCCA racing and would love to build up a nasty 383. My dad seems to be a mad scientist with motors, kind of scary to watch these guys work. they know their stuff.
Whats wrong with a 383? My future plan is a Vortec 383 I Mod the 5.7 (LT's, Heads (Got em), TB, Intake (Got it), and plenom spacer. When she goes just plan on re-building the bottom end.
