Default Anybody building a 420?

If so, it looks like the rotating kits have finally turned the corner of availability. Check this out for a reasonable price on a decent kit!

I wonder what kinds of crank upgrades are available??

Tim after looking over these after market blocks (Motown & Dart) I would never put any money in to hopping up a 400 ci stock block. I reallly don't think that the about $2000 dollar price is that bad. By the time you machine and hoppup a stock block with billet or splayed caps your going to have allot into it anyway.
