Thinking about selling the Bad Boy 398 LT1 ~ 1200+RWHP

So I'm thinking about selling the motor. It will totally be refreshened up, complete from intake to pan, reassembled and ready to bolt in. The motor currently has about 30 runs on it, 10-12 1/4 runs, the rest 1/8. THe motor has gone a best of 8.08 @ 174 mph 1/4. 5.22 @ 141 1/8. Here's a short run down on the motor:

Cola 3.875" forged crank
Eagle 5.85" H-beam rods w/ ARP 2000 bolts
Custom Coated Weisco -30cc dish pistons 4.040 bore (2 new spares)
Hell fire rings,Custom pins, Polydyne Coated Race Bearings
Block is half-filled w/ grout, Oil galleys drilled larger to accomodate more oil
Program engineering 4 bolt splayed main caps (front and middle three)
Morosso Race Blueprinted oil pump, Canton Pickup, Canton drag race oil pan
Dyna Gear Belt Drive, Fluidampnr 6 1/4" Harmonic Balancer
AFR 215 RR LT4 heads ported by Self Racing Flow 338/245 @ 600
Jesel 1.7 Pro Series Shaft Rockers, comp 946 triple springs, titanium retainers
Manton Bros Pushrods, Ferrea 2.100/1.62 valves
Del West Copper Berrylium seats
Comp Cams camshaft- Grind will be released to buyer
Dart RR Intake, Dart Valve Covers
Motor Plate and fittings and SS lines will also come with the motor.

I'm also throwing in the PTK Turbo headers for an extra $500.

Taking offers, looking @ $12K for the setup, I've got about $16K tied up in it. Serious Inquirys only

Re: Thinking about selling the Bad Boy 398 LT1 ~ 1200+RWHP

what size fuel injectors did you use, and what brand rear end did you have? how about what kind of fuel pump and fuel lines and small stuff did you have to get for it all to work together?
thanks

Edit: what size throttle body did you use?

The motor itself is streetable. The cam in it really isn't big on duration ~250 @ .050 It does have .700" lift though. That would be the only thing really not long lasting on the motor. You'd go through valve springs often. All that can be changed out though.

160lb injectors, 9" ford rear end, weldon 2035A pump, stainless lines. The motor will make 600-1500 HP if you want it, depends on what kind of setup you put to it, everything else is just necessities.

For one thing, 9" has a drop out center section, making it easier to swap gears. More aftermarket support. etc.

$450
and where do you get a tranny to handle this and which site?
