"well lets see the X-block will be here long after that stock BB has cracked the main webs any way you look at it the Callies crank is 10 times better than that heavy stock crap the forged Diamonds will last long after those KB's take a crap but to each there own but go out and buy the same quality parts for that BB and see what the total is.
I wanted top QUALITY and nothing less and that's what I had."

I don't think you need all that to make a reliable 400 hp even in a small block. Parts are pretty much the same cost give or take for BB vs SB. As is machine work. FWIW I wouldn't pay 10k for 500hp BB.
