I'd be happy to give you a quote. Is there a certain look that you're going for? All cast iron? Cast iron block with aluminum heads? Any specific displacement?

I have engines across 3 continents, including engines in Malta, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, the UK, and others. My engines come with a 1 year warranty.

I know that I'm taking a slight risk in posting this publicly, as it would be easy for someone else to pop in here and say, "I can beat that price", but to be frank, if they need the business that bad, then that's ok with me.

Here's what I can offer:

*Ford 302 block, pressure tested, magnafluxed, steel abrated, bored/honed with torque plates, align honed with ARP main bolts, square decked.
*Duplicolor ceramic engine paint
*Brass freeze plugs
*Durabond camshaft bearings
*New cam thrust plate
*Felpro rear main seal
*Clevite main bearings
*Scat 9000 series crankshaft, 3.250" stroke
*Custom Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet camshaft
*Cloyes timing set
*New Ford pump eccentric
*Racetec forged pistons
*Mahle piston rings
*Scat I-beam rods
*Clevite rod bearings
*Externally balanced rotating assembly
*New timing cover and pointer
*Felpro timing cover gasket
*Pioneer harmonic balancer
*Melling oil pump and shaft
*Front sump oil pan and pickup
*Stainless steel fastener kit
*New water pump
*Felpro head gaskets
*Dart Iron Eagle cast iron cylinder heads
*Crower lifters
*Trend custom pushrods
*Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
*Mr. Gasket intake gasket
*Comp Cams roller rocker arms
*MSD distributor with black cap
*Felpro valve cover gaskets
*Cobra valve covers
*Factory style alternator bracket and pulleys
*MSD coil
*Quick Fuel carburetor
*New water neck
*Valve cover breathers
*Carter fuel pump
*Autolite spark plugs
*MSD plug wires
*Wix oil filter
*100A 1-wire alternator
*Powermaster starter

*Engine assembled and dyno'd

*RAM billet steel flywheel
*RAM pilot bearing
*RAM HDX clutch kit
*Tremec TKO 600
*Quicktime bellhousing
*New clutch fork

$12999

This is a complete, ready to drop-in engine, including all fuel lines, plug wires, alternator, belt, etc. You are looking at a little over your 350hp/350lb-ft goal, but it will be very streetable and run on 87 octane. The engine as quoted would have a factory 289 appearance.

The .64 OD trans would be fine at this level. The overall engine demeanor would be mild, so the problems that occur with the typical "performance cam" and the .64 OD would not be present.

Let me know if I can be of any more help.
