400 low buck dont give a

I have ran a few el- cheapo 400 in the past. Best one was 72 Demon stock 75 400 out of a charger. Stock short block. Checked bearings and cleaned everything. Installed windage tray, new stock- replacement oil pump. Stock oil pan. Used Crane Cam cant remember exact specs but it was mild 230-480 i think it was. Matching Crane lifters also. Anyways double roller t-chain, 516 closed chamber heads with larger valves installed 2.08 1.74 . Stock valvetrain non -adjustable rockers. Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold. Holley 750 Double Pumper. Full MSD ignition, Cheap Headman shorty headers and 3 inch exhaust with flowmasters. 2500 stall Mancini convertor and a 4.10 sure grip 8.25 rear. Had all the usual goodies on the car, weld wheels, racing bucket front seats, Holley blue pump, B&M Pro- Stick, blah, blah, blah. Car was an absolute blast on the street, lots of low end power and sounded mean. Never got that one to the track but it did alot of street racing and took alot of abuse. This was in early 2003 so it was already a well used engine before i got it. Don't listen to all the negative things, do what suits you best. I had very little funds for a new engine so i went to pick-a-part spent $ 150.00 for the short block, few bucks on gaskets, freeze plugs, paint ect. Swapped on a few parts from my old engine and i was back on the streets. Didn't have to wait a few years to save for a big $$$$ build. Good Luck!!!!
