Does anybody have any history with scott shafiroff race engines long island, looking for a 434 sbc i cant buld it for what he sells it for. He has the exact specs i want and with the upgrades it has all the right stuff in it. 10.00 bracket car that gets 150 passes a season and we try to not put it on the edge. I only know 1 person who has one. Anybody have any thoughts thanks !

I've never dealt with Shafiroff but I talked to a couple of builders. They all were in the same price area. I then checked with my local parts suppliers. I got a Dart little m block and found it only needed finish honed to build a 427 so why bore it for 7 cubes.
I used a 4in. eagle 4340 crank, scat rods,J&E flat tops,Comp cams roller and lifters and afresh set of track 1s. It's been 3 seasons so far with plenty of room for expansion. I run a 2300 lb. car it runs
9.0 in the 1/4.

He was a GOD back in the day!
He ran a camaro with a 302 4bbl
4-speed and 10" tires and ran like 10.20 back in the Super Modified days. PS- that was fast back then.
