No wonder they can't get any cars. I thought that dollar figure was just b.s. but I believe you. I didn't really think people were spending that much money.

I would not have spent that money, i bought that engine off HPS when i started running SUPER LATE MODELS at Irwindale. Its all i had, so we changed pistons and heads to run in the SS class... Cost me 3500 to switch it over to a SS motor. we ran aluminum heads at irwindale.

3 mains... one fast time and only one heat win... but out of 20 races i had 15 top 5's and 1 dnf

Its all I had.Thats a BS excuse and you still spent 3500.00 to convert it over to be legal? If you get 10k for that motor(Still big bank)You have enough money for at least 2 Mod motors.

At least you were smart enough to the the ship before it totaly sank.
And smart move to sell the car before the motor.Kudos on that.

LoL you will need all 3 because that is junk what you posted.
1 385 hp who runs this in a mod??? doubt it if anyone

2 Pro Comp aluminum heads cant be that great of quality on 3k motor

3 Kb pistons have had there share of problems in the past

4 9.8 to 1 Compression I know not 1 mod has this for compression
