Andrew,
Did you ever find a casting # on your block?
You got me started on the small block thing again and I was rooting around out in the parts bin. I have a bunch of stuff you might be able to use if you have the right block #.
I also talked to a armenian gentleman from our area who shall remain nameless,
summit part#nal-12496769 w/a hiborn setup good for about 455 hp on his dyno.
I think he said $4000.00 without the injection.
Also a little less pricey summit #nal-24502609 , same setup for intake good for about 395 hp.Think this one w/out intake about $3500.00.
I know this gentleman very well , he has had engines at Indy and Lemans ect,ect.
Very low key , he builds for Ford, Penske and people he likes. No bs kind of guy , the #'s are the #'s.
At 79 years old still in the shop 7-5 m-f.
He taught me all I know about hi/po v 8's and a few things about other engines a well. Very talented with VW water pumpers getting about 300hp out of a scirroco engine on alchohol.
Also he just pm'ed me , both of those summit #'s are for GM crate motors and can be purchased direct at a discount if you know someone at a dealer or a Good wrench certified mech.
The second engine is a ZZ4 , 10:1 aluminum heads , roller cam, hei dist, forged crank ect.
Joe [ops] said he knows a bracket drag racer who has about 125 passes on one with o failures. Pretty killer for under 4 grand.

Back to the shop.
