A turn key 540 BBC sells for around $10,000 in a street version.

I see long bbc for a lot less, maybe not complete with carb, starter and pully assembly.

Here are two that don't seem so bad.

Seriously, for anyone that is at a beginner to amateur level of small block experience, the book that Denny recommended is an ace in the hole...I just got it today and I've alreaday read about the first 30 pages...It's PACKED FULL of useful information.

I agree, I think if you look hard enough and turn some of the wrenchs you can get more for less. I am not a pro, but have learn alot by doing some of the work my self and asking questions here and anywhere to get the help, and researching.

i went and picked up that book, i think i can do those engines. your in input and advice has been very helpful, thank you

nope,
the question was:

I was wondering if any of you guys/girls had some good SBC builds that can compete with my friends BBC.

TED III, was talking about a BBC in several posts.

I agree on that, but, not in this one though. TUBJUB asked the question.

That's why there are different postings on different questions.

Apparently someone did'nt read page 3,4, and part of 5.TUBJUB asked and TED III responded and I was correcting him.Someone needs to put on his reading glasses..

Hey erik erikson, I was just trying to commuicate to the question ask and to you. We can easily spend 10k and more on a engine I was trying to make a point that for some people a warrenty is not a bad way to go, and you can do it for less than 10k. and Denny W, book show that. All done with good intentions.

JMO, but I doubt 550hp and budget even belong in the same sentence........ Whatever the motor costs, you'll need at least that much more spent on driveline and suspension to make it all work..... I would imagine the majority of 600hp bench racing motors probably dyno at about 400hp,,,,,.......
