[Ekliptix]

it depends on if you want it mild or aggresive.

what I'm really saying is I don't know. Less then a B18C5.

$3000- $40000 depends what you want car or boat, drag or oval, why stop at 383 look at 437 combos.

That's a pretty vague question. Are you talking a piece of shit rebuilt moores engine or something that makes some power?

Is it for your farm truck or a race car?

Somewhere between $500 bucks and $30,000 depending on what you want.

Build the 4.3 into a Scyclone motor. Then you will be lighter than a V-8, have more power, get better mileage (kilometerage) and have an easier time passing emissions.

buy my V8 from my V8 s10 swap :P

bol, you have an R6? Great bike isn't it? Mine has been on the back burner since I got the 1000 and recently the Z. I still take it out once in awhile though. Still the best vehicle I own for the real twisty stuff.

www.bogginfreaks.com have a lot of guys who build trucks for offroading including a couple with S10s. There might be a 350 or 2 on there right now for sale

Yep I got a '99 R6... it's my daily vehicle. I work to ride and ride to work! haha!

you can buy a 350 as low as $150...look in a bargain finder..but the thing is the block could be cracked...or whatever..id say if you wanna build it up..go to a wreckers, and just find a nice bare block and start from the inside out...then you cna do whatever the fuck you want to. Or you could see how good ur luck is and buy a cheap used motor...if all is well on the inside, you can sell the parts to some other guy out there lookin to build a bone stock 350ci. get my point?

You can do two routes with a small block Chev

1) Get a GMC / Chev truck "heavy duty" 350 long block - 4 bolt mains, "dimple con rods" and forged pistons. Get a COMPETENT & PROFESSIONAL machinist and rebuilder to do a complete refit. Dont go to the cheapest guy in town - check with some hardcore muscle car folks for references.

Get an Edelbrock Performer Air Gap intake and Holley 750 CFM double pumper carb. Get a Comp Cams XE 288R hydraulic roller cam, hydraulic roller lifters and SS roller rockers. This engine should build an honest 400 H.P. and more than 400 lbs / ft torque. This is the cheapest route to build good power.

If you want a 383 stroker, you should get an Eagle or Scat 4340 forged crank and some good aftermarket con rods and forged pistons. This route adds about $3000 to your bill.

2) Get a truck "heavy duty" 400 small block chev. You'll need some aftermarket heads - the stock Chev heads on these engines are "early revision smogger" types - they are hopeless for performance use. You'll probably need all of the parts from option 1 - as these 400 engines are from the early 70's - you'll be lucky to find a core that is OK - the rotating assembly will be most likely worn out. With a proper overbore, you'll get a 406 c.i.d. It will make more power than option 1 - but it is more expensive. I wouldn't go bigger than a 406 for street use - the con rod length ratio on big displacement small blocks is not optimal for long-term service. Large displacement smallblocks (over 406 cid on an original 400 sbc) require significant custom machining and a lot of custom parts - costing a lot of $$$. A properly tuned 406 with all of the above parts in a your little truck will make you think it is a big block. With good tuning and hookup along with good driving skills you should easily hit low 12's and 110 mph - on motor alone - no power adders needed.

Have fun with your engine swap. Hope this helps somewhat.

P.S. - another option (if you are lazy like me!) is go to the Chev dealer and get a ZZ4 crate motor!
