It think it is high because all you will probably use is the the block. If you want to make decent power you will go with aluminum heads and a forged rotating assembly. Also he said the top hose blew off of it, I wonder if he ruined it when that happened and now he is trying to sell it. If you are looking for a 460 also watch out for people selling a D-0-V-E block and heads. Don't let them act like its Dove parts (as in Jim Dove), D-0-V-E is just the casting numbers of the block.
