Good price in my opinion. I ran a 400 in a '62 pickup out of a '73 Caprice estate wagon. I used an earlier double roller timing chain, an Isky 30/30 cam, Offy 360 manifold, 650 Holley DP and headers coupled to a 3 speed. The only problem I had was keeping rear main seals in it. It made a pretty good sleeper on the street. BTW, the internals were totally stock and the engine had a little over 100 grand on it when I bouight it.
