Oh and in response to some other posts on this topic, from carb to pan for a 1.00 second under 305 with the absolute best parts available today all brand new there's no way you can build one for under $20,000...I'm talking dart block, top notch heads and intake, roller rockers, tool steel lifters, manley pro I beam rods, good pistons, the right ring set, etc...just being honest, the parts alone are over $15,000

It's funny how things escalate on here! The man asked how much to be competitive and all the sudden he's building a 20 grand bullet to go hunt down Chris Butcher with.

Mine seems to run pretty good in the heat.

Allen is correct in his pricing. I think if I was offered $25000. for my motor I would pass.

That motor would probably run 1.00 under on Mars!

My comment was in regard to several USED ,good running 3rd Gen cars on here in the 20 Grand price range.
I'm sure a new engine alone would run 20 Grand at least.
$ 9,000 sounds like a good deal to me .Either you pay now or you pay later for a competitive G,H,I car.
I've known the Hairringtons for decades. You can trust them to be straight with you, if that helps.
