No, these motors are completly diffrent from old SBC's. You can plan on spending $5k-6K for the cheapest of budget 427 SHORT blocks. Then you have to buy heads, cam, and all the other little parts.

I got my block at $2550, so that saved me some. LS2 dry. With a Lunati crank, my 454ci is going to come in around $7100. Price was about $5850 with an Eagle 4.100 crank.
