A while back someone had a link to a TMS 388/427 short block Holiday price
and I cannot seem to dig up the thread and link.
I’d like to compare the deal
price (that’s apparently gone now).
Just for research purposes. Asking for a friend….

Anyone have the link or the thread?

I almost bought that motor but went for the lsnext 388. However, I didn't post a link.

Are you referring to the dart 388? If so they had it on sale for 8499.00

The Dart 388/427 was $7k. The lsnext 388 was $8,499. That's what I bought.

The 2000 hp is an lsnext, the 388/427 was a shp

My poor memory tells me the deal was called a “388/427” and I could swear it was SIX-thousand-something…. like $6,883
Also I think it was actually before Thanksgiving and it was mentioned in someone’s Loooooooong build thread

IIRC, Bladez posted that link. I remember seeing it and it was a 388/427 for under 7k.

You are correct. Like I said, I almost bought that but ended up with the 388 lsnext.

i’m wishing I had if it was available at that price in 427 form.

Pat g just tuned an 388 vette with stock ported heads and blower to over 1,000 hp. Basically the same build I'm doing.

But but … “FourTwentySeven” sounds SO much faster and sexier than 388.

It might be but when the man says the 388 is better, a wise man must listen to the wiser man.

Just put a sticker on it that says 427 like all the guys with base cts’s and v badges

If it’s on the car It must be true right?

 

[MrSurly]

Nope, it’s gotta be in there if it’s on there. If it’s mine at least. i WOULD like to build a legit 427.

376 and 388 just seem not as…. sexy?

As an unrepentant fan of ‘old school’ MKIV Rat Motors, Rocket motors, RB blocks and old Caddys….
I have already wasted too much thought to just how wild a 500” ‘70 Caddy mill would be if stuffed into a v… just for the bizarre of it.

I thought about a 500 tall deck Dart LS, but others said it would not fit well.
