500 hp with I beam rods is not a good idear nor is a cast crank shaft turning 7100 rpm.

RE: How good of a deal is this
I turn my 410 to 7500....the crank alone cost me over $1400, the h beam rods were $500, the pistons were $800....I think you know where this is going 
When it comes to putting together a high performance setup, you can build or you can build it once.
I build my engine enough times that I the last one went to a pro builder...and it's been humming along ever since.
That 347 IMO will have a very short life expectancy. Now if you want to toss something together and throw it into a car and go racing for the season, its prob the perfect setup. If you are looking to build a daily driver/weekend cruiser something that will see 10k in miles a year I don't believe it is the best choice.
