Crate motors seem to be the way to go these days unless you can get parts for cheap and get REALLY good deals.
    Good luck!
    This suggestion comes from a guy whose signature line states, "If you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself." (Just funnin'! LOL) Buy a crate motor? For $7000? Actually, for the 625HP 514, try list price $7595. Plus shipping, or plus tax (and maybe freight) from a local dealer that has one in stock.

    I can build 625HP for a couple thousand less, shipped to your door. Or hell, send me the whole $7600+ dollars and I'll build you a higher horsepower engine.

    Ford crate motors are nice but expensive, and don't have everything inside of them that one can put into their own hand built motor for less money.
