i would be weary of anything coming from ebay. my .02

let me rephrase that, i would be weary of anything from ebay that has been built by another individual, or the quality of workmanship can not be verified of being a quality built part.

i wouldnt trust it as far as i could throw it. and thats not that far lol. get a used short block minus heads. build it up with a stout cam and refurbish your heads or get them ported. youd spend alittle more money but you know its good

Those valves will not fit aluminum heads without putting new seats in, well they will fit but it wont last before it destroys the seats.
The springs are about right for a stock cam with 1.6 rockers certainly not for a performance cam. The specs they list for the HOT cam are wrong, and 375 flywheel HP is a dismally low number.

In my opinion you would be further ahead to put even just a cam in a junkyard shortblock than to buy that, for the money you could begin looking at heads and cam and make more than that HP at the wheels instead of flywheel.

Seen a few guys snap those Eagle cast cranks lately too, they are inferior compared to stock.

I would be careful about buying stuff like this off ebay. Something goes wrong you are gonna play hell getting compensated for what went wrong.
