Yes, you could probably do a 480 horse small block for a lot less than that but it would be just the long block in cast iron configuration, flat tappet camshaft, and standard carb/intake induction.

I wasn't aware that included assc. Still seems up there but with a/m injection and wiring etc. I could see where it might make it that high.
