E30 engine bay width?

nice. just out of curiosity, how much did he charge for shipping? trying to do a dollar comparison of another ford build (with him supplying) vs a LS build

About $160 I think, shipped by truck freight to a terminal near me where I'll go pick it up. Not bad I don't think.

Correction shipping was $255, that's for essentially a complete long block.

damn dude, makin it raaaiiinnn up in fordstrokers. i already have aluminum heads though so it'd just be a short block for me. even if it's $250 i guess that's not horrible for shipping 300 pounds of metal

[e30_302]

I'm sending him my heads for a spring upgrade, and getting him to do pushrods and a set of rocker arms. At that point I said hell I'll send my intake too and you can throw that on.

lol. so what did you end up getting? 332 or 347? or did you spend that big money for a 363?

[e30_302]

No no just a 347 that I had him switch to a forged crank, internally balanced. TW170 heads, his cam, Victor Jr. and a 750 Holley. Plan on keeping it under 5,000 RPM, and with the dry sump, I have hope of survival.
