If your running a fairly stock setup like a stock rear end and trans than id upgrade that before you go dumping this motor and a 300 shot on your car. Only to find out your rear end is snapped and your out of $$$. As far as getting that much power you could have your heads ported and with a matched cam and dyno tuning get around the same hp numbers and probably spend under $3000. Excluding any kind of nitrous shot. Plus heads are alot easier to swap than an entire motor.

i got 405 with me heads and cam...and my cam is decent size.....so if he gets 450 out of that engine then that is really great

I understand that but he is doing all the work i trailer the car to him and he gives it back to me with the new setup as for the not doing the bottom end thats out of the quistion its got a spun rod baring and no oil pressure. plus ill never have to worry about it again.

AND HATAK ALSO DOES A HEADS AND CAM PACKEGE FOR $3000 WITH A TWO DAY TURNAROUND! NOT BAD HA!
