Thanks for all your help guys...I finally purchased the ATK HP89M
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My budget for the engine was around $3k.
My budget for installation labor is $1k.
Misc. parts maybe $200, but the lower the better. Most parts will hopefully transfer from my current 350.
My goal was to be in the 12's, but I'm fine with mid to low 13's for now with a GBody Monte Carlo SS. 373 gears and street tires. 99.9% street car.
I do not want to do anything to the engine during the warranty period, ie: swap cams, heads, etc...
I will not be doing any of the work myself. I have a mechanic, but in the instance I can't get a hold of him, I'll be going to a shop.
They all seem very similar and have good and bad stories. ATK has West Coast Customs and Overhaulin vouches...repeatedly. Blueprint is all over every hotrod magazine, along with YEARONE.
