This is a very interesting engine that Hot Rod built which I believe has a lot of good ideas. I've priced it out from the different suppliers and it looks to me that it is going to cost between $4000 and $4500 to build not $2995 as stated, but still not bad for what you get. I checked with AFR and they said Hot Rod had the heads laying around from a project (I believe a 305) they never got to and that AFR would recommend larger valves in the same heads, which should even give a better engine. A number of these engines have been build and it sounds like the owners are happy, but I've never found one to talk to. The cam used is Comp Cams 12-420-8 (270HR -- Hyd Roller with 215/215 at .050 and .500/.500 lift).
Be sure and check out the very wide torque range of this engine (over 400 from from 2800 to 5200). What a street engine!
