Default For sale: Keith Craft 482 aluminum engine

It's like getting a coupon for $2000 off! See my ad in the classifieds.

For Sale Keith Craft 482 Pond Aluminum Engine. Upgraded steel crank and H-beam rods. I am selling this new, never run engine (dyno'd by Keith) to free up some assets for my business. It has been properly stored in climate controlled storage. I asked Keith for a super reliable cam combo thus the HP/Torque numbers. A simple cam swap will get you over 600HP if that is your goal. Over $18,000 invested. I have other parts that can be purchased at great savings with the engine but will not sell separately: Quicktime Bellhousing with Forte's Billet Hydraulic External Slave kit, alum flywheel, Holley HP 950, Turkey Pan, Tremec TKO, etc.... Buyer should have funds ready for immediate purchase. Shipping not included but my company has good discounts with many freight carriers.

I was asked what kind of power this engine makes before 4300 rpm but the dyno sheet from Keith doesn't show. Given there are dozens of these very similar builds out there can someone give an idea?

One would probably say, "Who Cares!" These cars are so light that you don't want a lot of tork or HP down low. In fact I went with a single plane intake to kill the tork as my Carbon Fiber car is so light. You will find with dual plane intake high tork coming in at 3,000 an the HP starting to build over 4,000. My dyno sheets start at 5,000 where my tork is 632 starting down and HP at 601 and climbing up to 681 at 6800 rpm.
