That price is about right. The shop I've had a lot of custom engine work done for my Supercharged Denali builds race engines and they had and 800cui engine on the engine dyno when I was there last time. It made over 1800hp that day. They said it was around 100k for the motor.

Cheaper ?
we have an 814 Ford for a Pro Mod Mustang in the shop and it has over 100,000 in it +1800hp on motor plus 1000hp of spray on top of that friggin cool though.
40 plus hours just in the block to make everything happy.

600 cubic inch blown seems to be the best boat combo for now
my two cents
which is only worth a 1/4 cent today

They start in that neighborhood and go up from there, unless you are talking about Merc. There 1075 and 1200 is quite a bit more than that.
