I'm not that far off on the price by the time you add the labor to get it installed, tuned, add the extra's (fuel pump, alternator, starter, etc.) and use all Shelby components. 25 to 30 grand I reckon, likely less today for a modest build. Much less for an iron boat anchor, I mean block.
I think you're far off. KC sells them for $19K. I paid not much more than that, but I got a 4340 forged steel crank, not a fancy crank like Jamo's, CSX block and studs, Edelbrock heads with Ferrea valves, Smith pushrods, Holley 850 DP, Ross pistons, Shelby water pump, intake and timing cover, Crower hydraulic roller cam, lifters, springs and retainers, Erson rockers (not Jamo's better T&D's), March pulley set, Aviaid pan, McLeod flywheel, pressure plate, MSD distributor, Taylor wires, blah, blah, blah. Built by Tom Lucas of FE Specialities with all the fancy machine work and assembly included. Tastes great, less filling. Dyno and tune included. 605 HP and there's more there untapped.
