Motor experts, can I get a few opinions on this build please.

Many good components on the list. The price seems very fair for that motor if it is assembled properly and is what it has been promised. I would want more information about the pistons and would want to know what the compression ratio will be once the motor is finished. The answers should be quick and definitive. If they are not, you are talking with the wrong person. Talk with some of the people that have his engines installed and find out if they are happy.

There are cheaper ways to get the result and lots of ways to get more horses if you are willing to spend money. Doing it yourself can save money and is gratifying, but you need to be willing and able to do the work.

Roller cam is nice and the products in the build are from reputable manufacturers. There are a lot of ways to build a small block and there is no perfect beast.

Some of the money is for style rather than function. If you like it and it is in your budget, that is all that matters.

By the way, I am an interested observer, not a motor expert.
