Question for you car buffs....
 

I just got a call from one of are local harley davidson dealers that i won a raffle i bought some tickets for a few weeks ago. They told me i have won a 383 stroker engine dyno tested at 560. Now i have a few questions.

1: Is this engine street legal?
2: What does dyno tested at 560 mean
3: Whats a ball park figure price of a engine like this?

Thanks for all the replys :thumbsup

nothin it sucks, give it to me. You dont want it :winkwink:


:1orglaugh

i assume its a chev 350 stroked to 383 cubic inches.
the horsepower could be 560
price, i dont know
street legal? could be..what state are you in

I am down here in florida....

Street legal really depends on state laws and whats been done to the engine. Dyno tested at 560 means they put the car on a dyno machine and the engine came out at pushing 560horsepower. No idea on price. Honestly depends on whats done to it.

Yes its street legal! The engine is a chevy 350 stroked to a 383 typically the 560 would mean how many foot lbs of torque it has as stroker motors are typically nicknamed torque machines. Engine is valued at a few thousand depending on what piston rods/ pistons etc they used. Bad ass small block engine

560 hp is a nice kick in the ass for the street and that would be real horsepower, not nitrous etc.. i dont think street legal would be a problem, but you may have emission laws there, im not sure..

Thanks for the reply guys. Im gonna get dressed and go down there and look at this. You guys getin me all pumped up now :1orglaugh

Shemp, florida did a away with the emission laws a about 5 years ago here.

But like i said guys thanks for the replys. Soon as i get it home i will snap some pics and post them for you all to see :thumbsup

I think you are the proud owner of a bowtie motor (CHEVY)

350 small block.. stroker crank... 383 cu in

560 on dyno.. means the motor made 560hp on dynomometer

If made with quality High Performance Parts the engine is probably worth
more than $5,000.00 and less than 12,500.00

383's are dime a dozen, nothing more than a 350 block with a 400 crank. The money is in the heads. 3-5k tops assuming its a complete longblock, carb to oil pan :2 cents:

1. That probably depends on what kind of car you put it in. Most likely anything more than 25 years old would be OK, ask how old a car has to be before its exempt from emissions testing in your state.

2. 560HP or torque, either way its a hell of a lot for a small block.

3. I think 400HP 383's are going for about $5k new, this should be a bit more but it depends on who built it and what's in it.

4. Yes I know there wasn't a #4 but I'm putting it in anyway. If you'd like to give it away for much much less than I mentioned above, I promise to find it a good home :winkwink:

Congrats man!

What he said.

560hp at the flywheel?

560hp is pretty leathel on a bike. I find it hard to believe the enginge would only be worth 5k if it has 560hp (even at the flywheel) but than again I know nothing about harley's. Eitherway congrats!

No matter what it is, congrats on winning it.

Thanks for all the reply guys. Went down and looked at it and this damn thing is a beast!. I will be picking it up tommorw and bringing it home....

its a nice fit for a street rod...(hint, hint)

wanna sell it?

Na i got a 64 implala sitting in storage that im sure i can trade this engine in for for some custom interior work and custom paint to some local shops in my area. But thanks anyway for asking :thumbsup

this thread is useless without pics

wtf??? DROP IT IN THAT IMPALA MAN!

fuck that slam that engine in it and give it hell
