With the following specs starting with nothing but my 88 camaro, I plan to pull the 305 and have something built to about these specs. What would you assume it might cost to build to the specs below turn-key?

I'm sorry, I was going to shoot a price, then thought about it, and decided I didn't want to get in a price battle.

Whatever they quoted you, that's about what it'll cost.

Looks like pretty much the cheeeeeeepest of the cheeeeeeeep. Shouldn't be too terribly $$$$.

I would pass the motor is all procomp stuff. Their quality controll seems less than stellar. I have read a lot of problems with their distributors and head components. Pass.

Not interested in pro comp whatsoever. I'm speaking of a build to these specs with quality components but just to the specs above. Ignore the pro comp references. Please any advice is appreciated. I.e. for the cam say a comp cam and for a crank say a scat crank, etc. Just quality components to the specs above. Thanks
