Why is it being sold with so few miles after all that work/money invested?

he had all the work done and paid it all off, and he lost his job..he said his company downsized..i didnt pry cuz it aint my buisness, but its obviously possible with the condition of the economy..i researched this guy on the forum that im looking at it on, and hes well known and this is the second motor combo hes done with the car.

PHINES LT1

if the motor is what the guy says it is, then i would guess 425+

I have to wonder about the SA rocker arms. I'm sure that's something that Lloyd did not recommend.

If the cam was spec'd to peak around 6300rpm(very possible with a HR 383) then there would be nothing wrong with running SA rockers.

Could you point me in the direction that your getting your info from? I'd like to read up on this.

There's nothing wrong with running SA rockers. There was even a study that showed SA rockers had the same/better valvetrain stability as NSA rockers up to a certain RPM range. I'll see if I can dig up the source, it was in a Hot Rod magazine a while back. They also did a flat tappet versus roller test as well in the same issue.

many people overcomplicate things and upgrade to a valvetrain that isn't warranted
