for what it's worth, 5 years ago I had a firm quote to build a 12.5:1 SOHC with all new Dove parts for $30,000. Questions arose concerning Dove parts, but it wouldv'e been an all aluminum, brand new Cammer for $30K. Quotes received from builder and Dove. Now, 5 years later, in this economy, if Dove was/is? still making the parts, I bet I could get it done for less.

Trouble is, the only 427 blocks around today are NOS, or junk - it seems to me anyway. NEED a 427 block for a cammer, but would require a seasoned block under those heads; no green blocks would live too long.
