Not sure on how to put the link on here. It's on their website this is off the flyer I got and has a picLink, price?
I found these one's.

Actually I was looking at the cheaper one. But I had wonderd if they would put the RHS with 202 valves on it.If you are looking at the $5,979.95 version of the engine, Ask if they will substitute the INDY LA-X Magnum heads for the same price. It will bump up the HP and Torque. Also the alumin heads they are using is the Mopar performance heads which may cause you problems with header fitment (TTI will have to build a one off if you have an early A Body).
Ahh Glad you posted that Stroked, actually a buddy of mine will be the one building my engine if I don't get a crate. Well since I have been off work due to back surgery funds have gone down ALOT! I'm sure theres alot of people that have been there and done that. Anyway he said we could get the block done cleaned bored and honed or whatever it needed. Then get a decent performance/ street rebuild kit. Then get some good heads, intake and a cam and thats where the power would come from. have copression around 9 to 1 or 10to 1 have the cam around 292 with the lift around 501.. One guy he talked to said the block worked stroked to a 408 would probly be around $1000. plus roating assemblies are like $1100 and up. I have a LA 360 block, I guess it's around 500 or so to get cleaned bored and decked if I keep it as a 360. Actually thats what I was kinda thinking about some RHS heads w/ 202 valves and decent rockers good cam intake, good bottom end and tti headers.Save your money and have a 360 built by someone you can trust, for the same money or a little more..and end up with more h.p. then that crate stroker...
Same thing I have heard from three different friends that have purchased big motors from them. All three have been completely redone.I wouldn't buy anything direct from Indy. Once they have your money, even if the item is not right, you have hell getting them to do anything about it. It will be your fault regardless of what happens. I know of two big dollar alum hemi engines from them that didn't last 10 minutes because of the debris left in the engine after machining. If tyhey can't couldn't get those right, what about the lower dollar stuff.
If you must buy one of those engines, I'd buy it through a dealer so you might have some traction if something happens.
Another thing, you may look into what a good machine shop will build the same type of engine for you. I bet you could find one that will give you more power for less or equal money and be a quality piece.
DAMN!! Glad you guys have said that. Thats where I thought about getting the RHS La heads from.Same thing I have heard from three different friends that have purchased big motors from them. All three have been completely redone.
Two big wedges and a Hemi.

Thats what I wonderd. I'm gonna call him tomorrow. as far as rods it depends on what kind of rotating assembly I get. I have seen run from 1195 on up. Indy had one for 1195 and so does muscle motors.Hmm..why 500.00 more for machine work if you go the 408 route its should be the same as going the 360 route,unless you use h-beam rods then the block needs to be clearanced for them,but it shouldn't be 500.00 more...not my choice of heads..but,its your motor good luck with the build..i know i was surprised when i saw the numbers my 360 put down when i needed a motor in a pinch to replace my 416,built right they can be real screamers..
I would recommend this Blueprint crate engine sold by Summit Racing:Has anybody bought or heard anything about the 408crate motor from Indy? Didn't seem like a bad price.
375hp from a 408 is very low IMO.MadDart has a 318(stroked to 402)making over 500hp.I also have a 408 making over 500hp.Ofcourse this cost over the $4000 these engines cost.Your best bet is to buy a stroker kit,some RHS heads,use your 360LA block and have a respected engine builder assemble for you.It may cost more cash,but the outcome will surpass any crate engine.This is just my opinion,from experience and reading.Good luck.
I wouldnt buy a crate engine period. read some of the horror stories on blueprint crate motors...
