I hadn't followed this build since way back when all the driveline was sold off up until now when it popped up in Hot Rod's recent issue. I had missed the post above in the meantime.

So are two custom built and one stock with a cam LSs still cheaper and easier than a well built 3G Hemi?

Last I checked an Indy Cylinder Head 426cid 3G Hemi with 720 hp is $18,500. An Arrington 440cid 3G Hemi making 630hp is $16,950. I think those are right there in the hunt price and power wise with some of those Mast offerings.
