Re: Freshly rebuilt 350 burning oil and tappet noise.
I have been watching this thread for awhile and you guys must know some really cheap engine builders. go to jegs and any 400 HP engine will cost you 4 or 5 grand Get into real high performance and they go up to 8 or 9 thousand. The fuel injection alone for my 383 cost $3,000. I paid another $3,000 to the machinist to alien bore,bore and hone fit all the pistons and balance the whole assembly. He also clearance the block for the 400 crankshaft. I would guess I have about 6 or 7 thousand to get 400HP with a lot of low in torque. $5,000 is not out of line but apparently something was done wrong or this engine would still be running strong. 4000 miles is way too early for a well built engine to quit.
