He should take a government job (useless). Because he couldn't build an LT5 for horse hockey. My BK 415 was held together with JB weld. When it was taken apart the tolerances were very lenient to say the least ,and burned 20/50 oil like I drink water. But on the positive side that 415 laid down a good 558 rwhp.

Kurt the only reason why your car ran so good was because Aaron (SGC) had his hands on it. With the help of Mr. Greg V's porting also may I add.

As someone in a government job I resemble that remark!

Would love to buy the parts to put together a 415, but building a garage and have family visiting from England this year so nothing spare in the kitty. Won't even make BG this year

My family background is Irish - if they came to stay with us I'd be forced by tradition to blow them up

Will definitely post a few pics when it's done. Hardest thing has been finding someone to do the slab. I've done a bit of concrete work in the past but not enough to feel confident enough to tackle that part. Seems no-one needs any work around here!

What else do i have to do to sweeten the deal to get this lot sold.

Fully ported heads with large valves - big *** dropped plenum "415" block with studded mains, full set of bearings and gaskets, as well as a full set of new head bolts & 32 new lifters!

$8.5k & i'll cover the shipping US only though.

So what would be needed in addition to that stuff to have a complete engine? How much of my stock 94LT5 could be used?

Years ago this stuff would have went fast as hell. Times are tough out there with no let up in sight. Slow economy ? The economy is stalled and won't start !

It took me a little bit to sell the 402. Once the ball got rolling there was 3 buyers.
