My question is, are these top of the line parts or a budget build up:
lunati 4340 crank shaft
custom forged Diamond racing pistons
speed pro plasma moly rings
oliver billet main rods
comp r hyd. roller lifters
custom built SS step headersc
stage III ported heads by modern cylinder head
jesel ss shaft mount rocker arms
manley pushrods
He claims $23 just in motor (parts/labor/install) and another $6K in procharger with AP Eng. doing all tuning.
