$4k for a motor that should hold 1000hp seems reasonable to me. My other option was to just order a fully built 416 from someone and spend $12k-$20k depending on who you go with. Of course you could do a budget 416, there are a lot of ways to go.

I am not afraid to break something and have plenty of turbo and fuel. I will likely find the limit of my $4k engine eventually and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was 1100+hp
Did you do the work yourself? What do you estimate for the installation?
