they have reps in most states (maybe able to find one on google for you state) in wa one is 'chev power' also have a look at the cronic customs site (they are a car builders in wa and i think have seen a shaff in one or two of the car they have built)

ps nice lookin motors and well priced just make sure you check all the importer taxs ect.. that wht turned me off a touch thats why the rep in the go as they have all the info..
cheers

Have seen a few of these engines at shows they seem to go very well and all owners are pretty stoked with them.

I have not heard any negative comments about them definitely good bang for buck.

One forum member Greg BLO355 is in the process of fitting one to his car right now maybe send him a PM and see how he has found it.

Only talking yesterday about how much in years gone by we paid for high horsepower. Things are so cheap and so much variety today.

I'm bit new add uploading using the hyperlink but here goes. With the help and guidence of the workshop on moter would suit my needs I ordered a 434 small block (640HP) with all the extra go fast gear that is included in the saturday night special. Unfortunatly the car is still getting body work done preparing for paint and I will not be able to tell you how it drives for another couple of months. All I can tell you I purchased it october last year when the aussie doller was kicking the yanks, I dont think I could get a motor this good built comercially in australia without blowing the budget. I think you can get a video of them testing it on the dyno if you like if thats your thing as well.

The attached videois the owner of the workshop who has done all the work shoe horning the motor in my car. This has the 402 blown small block sounds bloody evil.
