Default 10,000.00 FE that makes over 500HP

Is there a need for a FE engine that can be had for 10,000.00 from carburetor to oil pan fresh of the dyno. We can do a 390 block FE with Scat 4.250 cast steel crankshaft, Scat 4340 I-beam rods, JE pistons, Comp hydraulic roller camshaft, Crane lifters, Canton oil pan, stock front cover, Performance Products damper, Smith Brothers pushrods, Edelbrock Stage 2 small valve heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Erson roller rockers with hardened shafts, Ford Racing valve covers, MSD distributor and wires, Holley 750HP vacume secondary carburetor, Edelbrock water pump, balanced and assembled with dyno break-in and testing.
As you can see this is no stripped down engine but one with a lot of quality parts. This combination will make 550ft/lbs torque and 525HP with no problem and run all day.
I was just wondering if there was any interest in this type of FE engine to go into some of the Cobras that want to have an original look.
We are always open to any ideals that the club members may have for an engine combination. This is the same combination that we are doing for the London Cobra raffle car. I feel that it will make a very nice piece. Just wanted to get some input on this. Thanks, Keith
