Ya, it is not a bad deal for what it is, If I built it it would be about the same price or a bit more, but it would be a much better motor...

The reason I got it was because of time... I needed a motor for the nats and this fit the bill and I could have it in and running in a few weeks..

If I did not have that constraint, I would have done something else. I would have built one, the MP motor is not that great as well, about the same as the blueprint motor except the MP one has the RT heads and a roller cam.

The best thing to do would be to start with a Magnum block and build your own stroker - that would be the best of both worlds... - you get the magnum heads and the roller setup...
