If the owner doesn't pick it up.........it would fit in my '73 Monaco!

Looks like a 69 Barracuda engine to me, of course then I have to start welding the cage in now.

Dave do you have a Original 69 Barracuda hood? I know a Dart Sport hood will work but there are some slight Differences between them.

Yes they are the same mine was original till I cut the bracing out and put a 68 super stock scoop on it. Front and rear 67-69 Barracuda bumpers are the same just change the brackets.
 
Nice build, I guess as the saying goes you got to pay to play. What do you think you have in just parts?
 
I have close to $9000 invested in my 470 stroker . $3000 of that is in the fuel injection system . $12000 seems kind of steep. You could probably build a similar set up yourself for much less if you know how to that kind of thing. I think the builder has put a high markup on this engine and is looking to turn a hefty profit.
 
I take that back. Checked out your profile and it turns out you are a professional engine builder. I'm guessing that with all the machine work and high quality parts that build couldn't have cost you more than $8000. Using 440 Source parts it could be done for less than that. In your case the machine work was probably a matter of time spent.

We are a custom, by the order, engine shop. I talked with the customer several times, designed a few builds and gave the owner these pump gas choices.......

496 stroker/600 HP.............$12,448.26
496 stroker/650 HP.............$13,515.32
470 stroker/570 HP.............$11,572.40
470 stroker/520 HP.............$10,622.40
440 480 HP..........................$7,687.93

He said he wanted a Victor headed 440 and it cost him $12,000.36

Anybody can buy the parts and bolt them together cheaper. Okay do it and we'll put them side-by-side and see which makes the most power and survives the longest.

Our pump gas 451 stroker made 787 HP and over 500 LB-FT of torque from 3,500 rpm to 7,600 rpm. That's right, 500 LB-FT torque for FOUR THOUSAND AND ONE HUNDRED RPM from a 451. It's de-tuned to 580 HP and 580 LB-FT and running in the shop truck today.

We are well worth our money.
