I was in the booth with Jim at AS&M in Miami and Those engines are nice pieces with a lot of work and tech in them .Jim seems like the kind of guy who is not a bull****er! I would just ask for the dyno documentation sheets on the engine and if they show 625Hp I would bet it might be a good number. Remember these motors have forged pistons, are bored and stroked for about 525 cubic inch with nice internals. The pricing he offers on his special on the website seems like a great price and I would guess you will be happy. Just don't forget to add the $5,000 grand for the CMI type exhaust, I am sure thats probably how they were dynoed for those numbers. Ask Jim for a refferral to one of his Havasu customers who is running the motor. Just a few thoughts.

I'm also very interessed at this engine but I could find a professional reference yet. Any news about?

You should contact Biggus on the board and get Timmy Dorres number up in Maine. He made Kurts motors and they are running perfectly. Plus you can not put a price on local when dealing with engines. I think that he is the authorized repair place for Cheaf also.
