There is nothing on their site about it. It was in the June 2009 Chevy High Performance page 68. It sounds way to good to be true. I have seen the headers alone priced more then that.

www.turnkeyengine.com

They don't list years on the cars in the magazine. I am going to call tomorrow and see what they have to offer.

Sorry that add is a misprint, the 750.00 price in in addition to our engine package price to put these engines into specific vehicles like Camaros, Chevelles, Novas & g body cars. If you already have an engine the following is a list of parts that will help you with the install

ECU and harness $1325.00 pre calibrated ecu, 5 wire hookup harness (12v+, ignition, fan+, fuel pump+, tach)

Long tube ceramic coated headers with gaskets & bolts $800.00

Oil pan kit $350.00 includes pan, pick up tube, windage tray & dip stick

Motor mount adapters $85.00 use stock sbc mounts and leave transmission in stock location

Fuel pump kit includes in line pump, pre & post filters, bypass regulator & all fittings $525.00

Upper passenger side a/c kit including bracket, tensioner, belt & compressor $600.00

Flex plate and converter spacer kit for early GM auto trans $115.00

Let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks

Kolby
Well, guess that answers that! Guess I need to send an email over to Chevy HP about that.

Dad drove it for the first time.... I didn't ride along, my mom did, and said he went to fast and took off like a teenager....so that must have meant he laid some rubber and hauled azz!




I also had a chance to mess with the AC. Took a bit, but it should work. Going to get a belt today and fit it up to see how its going to work.

Wires are not 100% done, but sure are looking better.

THanks for the compliment. We have not touched it really since I posted the last pictures. Been swamped with other projects.
