All of the parts in the block are top of the line, forged, titanium, etc. It is an all out race motor, and shares no similarities to a stock STI longblock other than its outward appearance. That crankshaft was custom made, knife-edged and honed. The headwork alone on that must have taken hours and hours and hours.
The cams alone in this block are over $1,000. The total cost of just the motor is just under what that LS7 would cost, and it will have the potential to produce just under twice the wheel horsepower of that Corvette motor without any further modification to the longblock at all.
I'm not at all saying this motor is better than any other motor, and I would definitely NOT recommend doing a build to this extent unless you're serious about creating something truly unique and powerful, or you're just crazy. haha
