Crate motor vs. rebuilding DZ 302...?

When I had my 1968 SS 396 Camaro I bought a crate 461 from John Lingenfelter Racing. Came to my door with everything on it but the water pump plus I paid to have it dyno tuned. If you want to drive the car right now and don't want to risk damaging the original motor beyond repair; the crate motor is the way to go.

Were you happy with the performance and what did that run you if you don't mind me asking?

I was thrilled with the performance. My mechanic said he never saw a big block that revved so freely. ( ). I never took it to the track but was told, if I could get it to hook up, it had the potential to run high 11's.
