Awesome Deal!! New 396 Lt4
Posting for a friend currently sitting in the Persian Gulf on a Navy Cruiser..
Selling a new NEVER RUN 396c.i. 4 Bolt LT4 Shortblock.
This thing is NICE.. Never been run, its a project that never came to fruition. He was building this for a kit car he was going to build, but lost interest when he bought his 67 RS and began modding the suspension and building another motor for it.
The motor was machined and assembled professionally by a local machine shop down here in socal (Vellios) known for high performance work, then sprayed down with oil and wrapped in plastic and stored securly in his garage. The motor was being built for forced induction (A LOT OF IT) and is quite stout using ARP bolts and studs everywhere. Specs are as follows:
The block is sitting at 10 deck and is o-ringed, line honed, and bored using a torque plate.
4340 Forged and Nitrided SCAT stroker crank
Eagle H Beam rods (6")
Custom Ross pistons (20cc dish)
Cam is an off the shelf comp roller spec'ing somewhere around 230/230@.050 on a 112. Not the best cam for F.I. but a good break in cam.
My friend has somewhere around $5500 invested in this project and is willing to sell it for $4500 obo (within reason) He needs the money for a new fuel injection setup on the 67 and a couple more suspension mods.
If you have any questions about it, you can contact me at 310-200-5039 or by e-mailing me at mleaf@speakeasy.net.
This is a great deal.. Don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Re: Awesome Deal!! New 396 Lt4
Yep.. Just a kickazz shortblock...
To give you an idea of his former plans with this thing, it was going to be run with twin Turbonetics turbos, AFR 227 Race heads and a custom sheet metal intake. With all this, and the cam thats in it, Desktop Dyno was predicting somewhere around 1300hp. With a blower it would obviously make less power, but would be a super good bottom end..
Also, I believe the rings are Hastings Plasma Moly's and all the bearings are Clevites.
P.S. I will be heading over to his house tonite to take pictures. If anyone else wants to see the pics, please PM me with your e-mail.

As you can see, there is a set of old heads from an old 327, and an intake that are kept bolted up to the block to keep moisture and junk out of the motor. The bores are also oiled as well as the bottom end and well... just about everything, and it is wrapped in plastic and stored in the garage. This thing is not being neglected..
If your interested, make an offer, just be reasonable. This thing has over $5500 invested and asking is $4500 obo.
