I also think that the 30k is way out of line. I build 500HP 427's at least one per month, and also lots of 428's and milder 427's as well - I could retire real early if I got that kind of money! Using a Ford block the 500HP 427 costs about 11k to 13k depending on options. A shelby block should only add $2500 to $3000 because you already have money in there for the Ford block. I could build one for 15k to 17k just like SKfiredog said.
