Chevy 388 cu. in. short block (18 degree setup) with top brand parts, told it supposedly came from Hendricks Motor Shop, but have no papers or anything on the motor stating it. I somewhat believe it, Hendricks is a big GM guy, using bowtie blocks, Bryant billet cranks and Carrillo I-Beam rods. Guy in Rockford stated he had someone go thru it with new bearings and rings, said it was like new, very few hours on it.
I’m going a different route, so someone should benefit from a top performing motor.
