Well, I looked in all of the trader papers and there aren't any older vehicles with big blocks to be found in the area. I even called a few salvage yards to see if they had any junk cars with big blocks in them. It seems like all of the big blocks get scooped up by the hot rod shops who sell them for an arm and a leg. I could probably get one rebuilt from one of those places for around $2,000 but after that I would still need all of the big block brackets and accessaries to go with it, which would cost too much money. I guess I really don't need 400 hp if that is the cheapest way to get it. I just want a setup that will give me enough power to have some fun once in a while on the street. I plan on keeping this car forever. Maybe eventually after I have enough time and money I can drop a big block in it, but for now I just need to get the engine in it running good and have some decent power to go along with it. Has anyone had any experience with the powerhouse 383 stroker kits on enginekits.com?
