Not too much, but we have to use a factory block with no material added, but it can be removed. Factory 823 LS3 castings ported, again, no material added but can be removed. Inlet manifold is open, so we run a mechanical Individual Throttle Body setup, but we are capped to 2 29.6mm restrictors. A little larger than the size of a quarter.
We use a Callies crank, specially made for us. It must be within 10% of the factory crank weight
Rods must be ferrous, and pistons must have 3 rings. Other than that, its pretty much free.
Total cost of engine, dyno tested and supplied with a harness and proprietary calibration is a tick over 70K

That it is, that is the dry sump pump. Cool little feature in that it is built into the billet pan so there are no external pan scavenge lines, it is all built into the pan/pump unit. The only external scavenge is the one from the lifter valley.
