Waddya figure that would make? 250-275?

With slightly ported cylinder heads, Manley valves, matched ported intake, a Comp Voodo Cam, roller rockers and a 750 Holey DP, the engine made 434 HP.
I called this engine the "Ebay" budget engine, with the exception of the long block, whic I got in Craigslist, all the other parts were purchased through Ebay. The connecting rods were 6" used Crowers for $120.00. The forged flat top JE pistons were left over stock for $225.00. Valves $98.00 for a full set, intake was $132.00, SFI Powerbond light weight balancer for $95.00...and...I paid for the long block $185.00. The OEM distributor had the compatible gear for roller cam use. I put it on an OEM distributor with a points conversion kit.
