This is lt1 f bod with a MAX of 350crankhp. He just needs a stock rebuild with only upgrades to fix factory flaws.
Who is cahall never heard of them? 800 for a bench build sounds friendly. Thats only a little more than a local builder, but hopefully it would actually last.
I forgot to ask it's a 95 did the f bodys have pwm then? I'll be giving him a core to send so he has little down time.
