Sounds like a good deal if the shop is reputipal. Wierd they didn't mention what brand heads, cam, and rockers they use.
BUT it has hyper pistons. So don't ever think of using boost on that motor. And it has a cast crank, which is good don't get me wrong but if your building a motor from scratch go with forged all the way around.

Its got a cheap price for cheaper parts. I would keep looking around and save your money for something a bit more durable if I were you.
