As the saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I honestly see a bunch of Chinese junk and a power number that I can easily make with a typical SBC bottom end and a set of Vortec heads.

Exactly, an LT hot cam and set of vortec heads will make you more. That ad hurt my head to read, a lot of words saying nothing to make you feel like you're getting an engine that was built for you, they also couldn't keep it consistent on 2 bolt or 4 bolt main block.
