Talking I have good news, and I have bad news

Take yer pick:

Good news: Price is great, and the new 460 and 514 (600 horse, my choice for my new turnkey) have the Eagle forged rods, ARP bolts, aluminum cobrajet heads, etc.....

Bad news: They are externally balanced. To my knowledge, they are not blueprinted per se (someone correct me if I am wrong) But you can have yours disassembled, inspected, balanced if you wish, before install (I did not)

For the money, and to get my cobra on the road asap, I chose the bargain SVO 514. Spiced it up with Holley EFI (currently being installed ) Lots of guys seem very happy with their 460/514 SVO. I figure if it lasts only 20K, I will then get an aftermarket monster motor for it, and most of my money was well spent. If it holds up, and no problems, I got a real deal
