My add on the forum is for a 70 402-375. I also have a 396-375 that is available.

Would like to make a comment about not wanting Tilburg
His prices are very fair and correct
There are many Engine builders that are more money
Brian built me a 396/325 and his work is amazing and again fairly priced
I know you went putting Brian down but wanted to correct the idea that he is expensive
Just my thoughts ......

Tilburg is the man! You will not find a more honest and reasonable builder, and will work within your budget.

I am located in the Bowling Green KY area. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Call Jim Blair he has a 396 /375 for sale about half the price of a new one. 1 6056853046

Really... It's the parts that are expensive. The labor is cheap!!! I guess he has a complete machine shop in his basement!!

I'm not quite understanding just what it is that you're trying to say here. The "labor" is what it is. When somebody has hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in shop equipment then that person is entitled to charge what he has to charge to pay for it AND make a living.
The "parts" are what they are. If somebody wants to build a high-dollar combo using all after-market parts then it can get expensive. There ARE combos out there that can be built with inexpensive parts.
Where the major expense comes in is when the customer is unable or unwilling to do the time consuming "labor" himself. AND if the customer has no knowledge of what it takes to make his combo competitive. Knowledge is the expensive part! It is (and should be) VERY expensive to buy knowledge.
