I would love too, but for 1/2 the price (or more) of a SOHC, you get a brand new all-aluminum 482. And then the work starts on the mods.

I think at $30K, the SOHC might be price-competitive, but at $40K, well not so much.

Regarding the magnesium Halibrands, I just think they're cool. I like the look of the gold dichromate when new, I like the look as they age, they came on the CSX3000's and they're much lighter, which means something to me. Yes, I think they add value, but that's my opinion. The next guy might not.
