Waste of money at those cubes with that block. I can build you a 434, use much better internals and it will be precision built for boost. $6610 using a Compstar crank or $6385 using a Callies C series crank. Either would be a better build and the money is close.

Does it come with high precision MSD wires and superior quality ARP fasteners?

as a matter of fact yes it does

That is the route I would definately go!

FYI -

Within the last two weeks a thread was posted in the FI section where a vendor has claimed issues with 2 different LSx blocks.

One had core shift as delivered, and the block cracked soon after the car went together. For the same customer they got another LSx block from another avenue and had it sonic tested (and failed).

Just letting you know, you may wanna search for that thread and talk to the shop, and then search some more.

That is what is supplied in your link.

Yes I will supply the same and yes I can deliver a crate style build with intake and oil pan if you like. No, its not shipped at that price.
Warranty ? I guarantee that its built correctly yes for the same 24/50

The difference is I will use a forged crank and rods vs the Nodular iron crank and Powdered metal rods and I'll give you a choice of reluctor wheel vs the 58x only. I'll also grind a custom cam from Comp to meet your needs.

Thats 100% on the builder. Sometimes parts aren't what they should be, but thats what your paying your builder for. Its their job/responsibility to make sure all the components are proper and put together correctly. Nothing like that should ever slip by or even come close.
Getting freight costs right now, I'll pm you with them.

I don't understand the application that'd be appropriate for that Jegs motor. Undersizing the bore, and using as cast heads with a tiny cam is just wasting a LSX iron block. Why throw away displacement? Not a very good value IMO.
