My thread got locked before because it was simply a list of parts, well now those list of parts have made their way to a form of a completed engine that is a traditional 400 CI small block Chevy. It has been on the engine dyno and has made 702 HP and 684 FT/TQ. I have been working with Mckinney Motorsports on sourcing parts to make a first mount kit work for these engines.

Small block Chevys are cheap, easy to find, and hopefully after this, give people a cheaper alternative to an LS based engine. Best part of all, it is carbbed and requires minimal wiring.

This isnt the engine, rather than a mock up. Mounts are prototypes and are pretty close to done. The oil pan is a front sump type that has been modified to fit between the sway bar and sub frame without any modifications. The header type is equal length and will only require minimal drivers side adjustment to fit. Transmission is a TKO 600, which is shorter then a traditional 5 speed. A Traditional one will fit further back and correctly in the hole, which they are also building mounts for off this engine. Here is the initial mock up of these mounts on the test engine.
