I like the idea of a correct looking FE, ideally a 428, but with better internals. I know the aluminum heads and intake are way easier and better than the old irons, but the irons look the part. Unfortunately, the OEM cost of the iron and the work that has to go into those parts seems to knock a build out of budget range, huh?

I have seen guys very proud to have a NOS S/O iron block (rare) and NOS heads only to discover all the work even the NOS parts needed to get things right. They blew past $10k in a heartbeat. And when all was done as Brent said, they didn't get where they wanted with HP. Still, great period correct pieces if the budget and desire is there.
