When do you need this engine?
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?
Do you have a list of the parts that CME will use, building a 383 is tricky because parts selection pretty much sucks.
If I wasn't 3000 miles away I could screw something together for you. I have a 69 383HP sitting on an engine stand that needs a new home.
