Motown 415

Is the Motown 415 motor worth the $7500 price tag? Would it handle a 125 powershot(NOS kit from jegs) with no problems?
Any experiences with this motor, please share! Problems installing, tech issues, tranny woes, please let me know. Any sound files of the motor at idle would be nice to! Starting a new job, and tax time is here so I am thinking of maybe getting a Motown 415. Thanks!

Its any awesome motor if you have the cash. Yes it wil that 125 shot no problem. But if you have the money why not 427, i think they are the same price. That way you can say you have a 427 under the hood. Oh you have a Big Block in there? No it a small block!! It just sounds cool.

True, but where do you suggest that I obtain a 427 from? Does World casting offer a complete crate motor like the 415? I hope it isn't too much more...........
