No real hurry, just getting some ideas on cost and shipping. I found a really good place called Larry's Power engine building that sounded great but is about $3000 more then C.M.E. so i wanted to see if there is any big reason for the lower cost?

I have a guy up in the NW that does my motors. He stands by his work. I know he has several 383 cores laying around.

Also, is Baily Brothers in Vallejo still in business? Back in the day they built some pretty good stuff.
