I had them factor in the cost of the aluminum block, the roller camshaft plus the guideplates, pushrods and lifters you would need for it, fuel injection, serpentine drive and all the other accessories (alternator, steering pump, starter, waterpump). That's where the cost got inflated. 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.
