$12k
Hmmm, just contacted Texas-Speed and they are quoting me a more robust sleeved 427 with Johnson lifters (supports up to 8k rpm), and all of the original specs. Over the phone quote is only $12k'ish. A good chunk less than the one I bought at the end of 2015.
I may be moving on this sooner than I thought. '08 is overdue to come back to life. |

Hell of a price for a complete block. Was that for the long block or does that include intake manifold, pulleys etc?
Very much diggin' my Texas Speed sleeved 427. Revs to 7k, makes a ton of mid range torque (with this cam/head profile) and very strong high end. Scott

Final quote came through...$11,800. They gave me a discount since the original one met its maker.
Price is low enough that I will likely say "go" in the next 30-60 days. Would make a nice project over Christmas with GWiz, but she's also interested in making money with my concrete client, so we'll see. Regardless, this will happen sooner vs. later. |

If you're turning wrenches in Feb, I'd be glad to help you drop her in. Scott

When Data gets the motor in the car, we should start a pool to see how long it takes him to blow it up! Good Lord knows that he is NEVER hard on his cars.
