Not a bad deal, if you want Vortecs.

See my response to your other post.

That's a decent price for all you get. One piece of advice, though. If they send you a set of gray rubbery/composite gaskets, throw them away! I used them and torqued the bolts to the specs Chevy gave me (30ftlbs.) and the gasket gave and split out. It cracked the manifold. I went to the parts store and got a set of gaskets from Victor Rienz (I think). They have a plastic body and rubber printed on that for sealing. I torqued these to 17 ft lbs and have no problems. It even supported the cracked portion of manifold.
