This motor will be going in an 87 Chevy 4wd pickup used for mud bogging and mud racing.

There will be others with different ideas, but I would say that as soon as you get your head wrapped around 500 bucks for cam and lifters, 500 bucks for pistons, 500 bucks for rods and 500 bucks for a crank, we can move on to block mods and oiling to complete the short block.

Low investment 450 to 550 HP
Ain't gonna happen!!!

I had a 383 500 plus hp once, and I think I had 5K plus invested
and I did all the work except for boring and head work, plus I had
a block to start with........That thing would pull a stump out of the
ground with the stick and a low gear in the back. $$=HP
