Stu, 5K for a DAILY DRIVER 383 engine, I might be out of line here but that's outrageous. that's an insane amt of money. I am getting ready to buy a decent 400/727 for $200 & when cleaned/painted it'll look like new & will likely outlast me
You can't compare a used, junkyard engine/trans with a fresh rebuilt AND dynotuned engine.
My buddy I did one for 2 years ago was crying when his got over $3500 ... it's not 1970 anymore.
