My honest opinion is that I would not buy it. It just doesn't seem to be worth 20k. Aftermarket stroker FE rotating assys are very inexpensive. You can buy the rods, crank and pistons for less than 2k. If you bought an NOS side oiler block off ebay, you might spend about 6k on that, and about half that for a used one, with std bore. I'd guess about 3k for the tunnel port heads and intake setup, based on what I've seen them sell on ebay for recently. Add an extra 1k for all the rest of the engine parts, and 1500 for it to be professinailly built, and your only at about 13k or so (if you used an NOS block). Plus you would have had someone you trust build it. I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a motor already built. This is just my opinion though.
