Default Top End Kit

I was surfing ebay and happened to stumble across this....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS6-TOP-END-KIT-with-CNC-MACHINED-COMPLETE-HEADS-AND-90MM-THROTTLE-BODY/300857176921?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14997%26meid%3D7230835357887752294%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D7275%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D221193072500%26
I usually wouldn't trust ebay products unless OEM parts but for $1700 you get all that?

I wouldn't buy that kit. I already got my setup. I just had a WTF moment seeing a kit in eBay like that.
