Re: 1990 LPE 402ci.
@ the year 2001 I bought a 402 kit from a guy up here in NY. He got the kit from LPE trust me. How do I know this ? LPE was printed on the rod's and the box the crank came in had the crank spec's with LPE as the buyer.
Go figure. I'm not doubting anything here. Just stating my experience. But as said before if that is an LPE engine , it has full paper's with the engine number's etc. from LPE period. This 402 car look's like a real nice car and a good deal.

Re: 1990 LPE 402ci.
A little off topic here but I remember at BG one year Rippie talking about the few custom cranks he did for the LT5 from the stock blanks. Not regrinding cranks but using the stock blanks before they were machined and using different specs. Anyone remember what CI LT5's these cranks were used in? Or where they are today?

Re: 1990 LPE 402ci.
Hi Daniel,
No suprise.Doug probably did that to get around the "LT5 TAX" that was-is being levied on stroker crank's.I have no idea where the crank's are. JVD are you there ? Cause I aint squeelin ! When done correctly........there is absolutely no problem at all using a reground crank.

Re: 1990 LPE 402ci.
Well there is 1 day 23 hours left and the bid is at $18,300. So the bidding will either go up real fast on the last day or it will not meet the reserve.

Re: 1990 LPE 402ci.
Oh and if it makes 623hp with 15% lose through the drive shaft that would be 529rwhp that sounds about right. If the LPE 385's make 510-520rwhp then why wouldn't the bigger 402 do it? At least it makes mathematical sense.
