Default New 390 Stroker Engine Package 8995.00

I have worked up a 390 stroker engine package that I think will be a nice reasonable FE alternative to some of the small block packages.
We will start with an original 390 block that we will bake, tumble, crack check, pressure test, tap all of the holes and then completely machine. This will include line hone, bore and hone with torque plates, square deck, hone lifter bores, tap all oil galley plugs for screw in style, do oil galley work for better oiling, deburr the block in stress areas, new cam bearings and freeze plugs, cleaned ready for assembly. We will us a Eagle or Scat 4340 steel crankshaft with Scat 4340 I-beam rods, Probe or Diamond pistons to yield about 10 to 1 compression, Mahle rings, Federal Mogul or Clevite bearings, rear seal, Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and lifters, Comp Cams pushrods, stock front cover, Edelbrock water pump, Pioneer damper, damper sleeve, Melling HV oil pump and HD oil pump drive, Moroso or canton front sump oil pan for Cobra, Edelbrock Keith Craft stage 1 heads with stock style rockers, complete gaskets, ARP head bolts, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Cobra LeMans valve covers, MSD distributor and Keith Craft wires, Quick Fuel vacuum seconday carburetor, NGK spark plugs, oil and filter for dyno testing, do complete dyno test on the engine to break in the camshaft, check for leaks and tune for HP, post dyno inspection to check bolt torque and leak test the engine as well as black light test for any leaks.
We will do these with a .030 or a .040 bore size with a 4.250 stroke for 445 to 447 C.I. engine. This combination will make about 500HP and 525 ft/lbs of torque give or take a little depending on the camshaft used. We build our engines for each customer and this is how we decide what camshaft to use. Engines will come with parts sheet, balance sheet, bobweight sheet, dyno graph and HP sheets plus a cylinder head assembly sheet. I find that most people do not even keep up with all of the paper work that we send with the engines.
This complete package will be 8995.00 and I feel that this will be the best FE engine for the price and power that you can find with quality parts and by someone who has built a few over the years.
Let me know what you guys think about this package and we will get you some built.

Thanks, Keith Craft
