I doubt it... if it is 20 it is too much... here is a 521 from Ford that makes big power and costs less than $10K.

Think the pulleys, alternator and carb cost $30K? Even the fuel injection can be had for about $7K.. here , have another KoolAid...
Oh yeah and these engines work and have a guarantee that will be honoured.... |
A Ford Racing engine similar to a Roush 327 will run you $7,500, and comparable Keith Craft engine is in that range as well. So not double on that comparison.
On the 511, if you say that the Ford crate needs nothing more that a $7K FI system, then you got me. Hey, I didn't drink the Kool-aid on that one.
