Hi Duzty,
It will depend on if the Build will be done by your self, Or by an engine builder, And what parts you or they used and lastly the combination?
"Fully Worked" is a Hazy term- you could have a 1000HP sbc if you had the money.
So its approx |

Theres a whole heap of questions that need to be answere before you get a price.
but a few points.

to be fair mate. 9k for a 400HP 350 chev is not that out of the ordinary. it all adds up very quickly and if it was done properly, there could be $1000 in machining/balancing alone.
Hand porting and polishing is exxy as well - even if its done incorrec

The stall should be at least 2200-2300.
The rego means it is going to have to go over the pits which should be a breeze from your description.
If it doesn't feel right don't buy it. rely on your intuition,
Otherwise offer $10,000, if you are happy with

Dutzy - I know its a prem - it says so in your post.

But basic
