for 5000 u can get a shortblock for 1000-1500 then add to it. that way u have the say so in what u are getting exactly. with a complete motor it would be a waste of money when u add mods to it. if u intend to do so. for a COMPLETE motor is not a bad price. that is my opinion. not worth much.

oh yeah dont just buy the first one you see. do some good reasearch, you may find better for less.

430 superflow HP. Thats what 300 real HP

Look at the parts list. ****ty 1.94 valves making that much power. Wonder why no one on here can do that.

For less money you can get REAL power
