Not Ranked
I think it's great of Brent to discuss offering such a product and from my limited experience the pricing seems competitive. However, it could take a while to flesh out much interest in this unique but slightly limited market. Pick up the world of the Mustang, Fairlane and Galaxie crowd and there may be more response.
For my 2 cents I think what would make these motors a bit more desirable would be the added expense of a SCAT crank and rod kit - even if it meant sticking with factory, reconditioned heads. I think some will get hung up about a sub-400 CI FE but will get over it for something in the 420 - 445 CI area. And later, as the budget may improve and the quest for a bit more power require, an Edelbrock head swap is fairly easy - at least as compared to getting more cubic inches out of the motor. However, starting out with iron heads does require some compromises with compression ratios. Just my thoughts.
