Turn-key? I'd have to figure it up and see. If you wanted to use a true 428 block, it would be pushing it. My turn-key stuff is truly turn-key though....while others lack fuel lines, plug wires, PCV valves, blah blah blah. I'd say it would be closer to $11-12k depending on what options are ordered.

I would be very apprehensive about any FE build for $3-4k though. The prep and machining alone for my FE builds (on the block alone) usually runs $700-800 by itself.
