400hp for $5,000.00. Nope.

 

It makes 400 Hp with a blower cam. This thing is going to be an animal under boost. I would like to see ARP bolts used and a better crank. I like the basic build. However, it's only worth the money if the machine work is excellent. Otherwise, you could assemble the same thing. Find out how the block and heads are prepped.

By the way, rough estimation is that you're looking at a 550 Hp engine on pump gas.

 

Machine work and labour are hidden costs. Just listing the parts doesn't justify the cost.

Consider that the engine probably has this done to it also.

Hottanking
Bore out the cylinders using torque plates
Deck the block (includes partial assembly and disassembly)
Cam bearings
Line hone the main.
Balance the crank and rods.
Aftermarket rods are listed but that doesn't mean they wern't polished, shotpeened and resized.

Add in all the other nickle and dime stuff.

Gaskets, bearings, rings, frost plugs, fasteners and the price goes up very easily.

The only way to know if the engine is worth it is to get a complete breakdown of what work was done and get a complete list of all the parts that were used.
