Personally, I perfer to have US steel crank and ground in the US. Another problem is that Mast Motorsports uses the 4.1" crank. Which means that you can't use NOS or boost on the engine. The reason being that the pin is moved up higher into the piston to the point where the crown is getting too thin to comfortably handle the extra pressure. Has it been done? Yes. But the longevity/durability of that setup is definitely decreased! Even Mast Motorsports doesn't recommend boost be run on the LS3 Based 427 based off the 4.1" crankshaft. When I contact Mast Motorsports last year about building a custom engine for a supercharger, they was only willing to sell the engines that they build. They do not build custom engines. Otherwise the engine is good choice, the cost is very comparable to other engine builders.

Thought I would pass this along. A Mast Motorsports 416 is running in DSE's 1969 Camaro. Here is the link:
