Did some trade work for a 3600 Performabuilt stall
My engine/trans had 10k miles on them so no need for any other new parts. It should be a good solid 430 horse the way it's built, no worries about failures. It runs strong.
I must be forgetting some nickel and dime parts...I've never added it up before and it's kind of scary haha but so far that's:
$7970
