GM had to redue the durability test because "fluidamper" went out of business and GM had to change to a different damper. it should be out in sept but i have no idea about the cost. :chevy

I think it would be a pretty good deal if they sold it as a shortblock and then you could install real heads on it. Those Edelbrock heads are going to have a heck of a time feeding it like it wants to be!

Yup and the 850 carb is way too small, overall the motor is a dissapointment for me. 620 HP out of a 572 is pitiful
