Old-school Chevy 383 with 6V-71 blower - $4,500 (Fort Plain)

I rebuilt both carbs (and Cerakoted them black), new plugs, oil & filter (twice now), cap & rotor (HEI with an MSD box), coolant, scoop, etc.. $4500 for the complete engine and blower (including the custom-made flywheel), $4800 with the Saginaw transmission (nothing special, but it works and it was the surviving transmission back when the car was put away -- this thing was even eating Muncie rock-crushers with 4.10 gears and small tires with the pulleys swapped to overdrive the blower) or $4900 with the headers (Patriot long-tube headers in a G-body 1-5/8" to 3", ceramic coated $700 new), $5100 with both.
I'm sure it would benefit from having the carbs properly tuned, but it still starts and runs great! I've had it up and down the road a couple of times, and it boogies!! I'd guess it's around 500-520HP at the wheels right now with the potential to be 600HP+ by swapping the pulleys. Email for a video of it running and revving.
