Unless you're in love with the originality of it, you can build it for a good bit less.

I would spend 6K$ on a ZZ454 instead, more power and will be pump gas friendly, also you can dress it up to be exactly like a old school big block.

$6k will get you 570hp on pump gas and big torque here:

If you're shopping for a well built, nice HP BBC, this guy is the ticket...

as owner of an L88 replica engine ... i would say go for the LS7. Dyno numbers are just a part of the story. my L88 shows smaller numbers than a modern design , but a high revving L88 cammed BB is just another story in respect to a hi tq modern BB.It's not just how much power but the way is released
but 12:1 and non pump gas is definitively an issue...
