the key word is "retailed". If they were selling them off they might have been sold at something around "cost". Half or less? $10K?

As far as installation goes, with the exhaust in the valley and the intakes tracts directly over the heads I would think you'd save some width over an FE cammer just because you wouldn't need to leave room at the sides for the exhaust.
