Add up al of the prices... for example, the AFR heads are $1600 right there... then you have the freshly machined block, etc etc etc. Look up the prices in jegs, and see how it adds up.
Good luck.
Good luck.
$5000 does sound a little high for the parts alone. but if the engine is already assembled and you know it was assembled right I say go for it. good luck and post some drag results if you put it in your car. :-)
For that kind of price you could build a low compression 383 with a completely forged bottom end. If you have the ability to build an engine I would probably build my own if I were in your situation and had the ability to build one. But if you don't have the ability to build one I would buy it if it had never been run.
