MESABALANCING

Ok guys here is an entry level blown small block with a production based block completely blue printed and balanced 4340 Lunati components it's 355 ci with a 5.7 rod running Edelbrock aluminum performer heads with inconel exhaust valves it's going to run a magneto for the old school look and a Littlefield 8-71 the pistons are speed pro forged 8.5:1 reverse dome he's going to use it in an old Hydro we used to build engines for back in the day. We had done a 383 last year with big money parts but I think you guys will like this one I'll post some pics when I finish it most likely by Friday . Hope you guys like Sincerely Laz

Rat It's been so long since I build something this small I'm not really sure on the final # but it has to make at least 500-550hp the last 383 we did last year I also posted here made 740 but that was a bunch more jingle it may surprise us on the power you never can tell . He's got right at $12,000 and you see the parts are entry level but of decent quality I wouldn't build it with junk, I feel he'll have a good piece when we're finished. SIncerely Laz
P.S. here is a pic of the 383 from last year

Very nice, Laz......is the $12k price for the last 383 or for the 355 blown sbc? How much torque do you expect and what rpm? May be an option for P5 boats! Possibly something like this....

Mike I told you the small block was the way to go because you already have everything I have a 406 chevy with a tunnel ram that will make that boat go and it's a drop in . Sincerely Laz
