i mean basically everything done for about 4200 to make me a short block (i said id take the heads home and bolt them on myself)

does this sound like a fair deal? i see crate motors on summit for about 1000 less than that

couldnt i just get a 351w and get the same power out of it?
i have till tomorrow to make my decision.

Check Coast High Performance. I've heard they sell high quality engines for a fair price. Remember though, you won't get any head work for a short block price.
