Edelbrock and Pat Musi are a powerful combination, and Edelbrock Musi Carbureted 555 C.I.D. 676HP crate engines are no less impressive. They start with a Dart Big-M block and load them with a Scat forged steel crank, forged H-beam rods, and forged pistons. The top end is finished with a hydraulic roller camshaft, roller rockers, Victor Jr. manifold, Thunder Series AVS 800cfm carburetor and the big feature--E-CNC cylinder heads. These cylinder heads are CNC-ported where it counts to achieve optimal airflow, gaining you maximum horsepower and torque in high performance street applications. Plus, the key advantage is the stock location of the exhaust port, allowing you to use readily available, off-the-shelf headers. These Edelbrock Musi Carbureted 555 C.I.D. 676HP crate engines come ready to perform just bolt them in and fine tune them to pack big block power in your ride.

trust me when I tell you that you could spend that much, or even more cash, rather easily and not have nearly as good of an engine built, at many engine builders shops or thru careful research and planing spend a bit less and build a significantly better and more durable engine!
MUSI used to have a shop in my neighborhood and while hes talented, keep in mind EDELBROCK is making a significant profit and hes collaborating with edelbrock to use their components in the build where ever he can rather than select the best available component in every part selected, now that MAY or MAY NOT be an edelbrock supplied part in every case , so its not necessarily the best value, but you can be assured that its at least a well tested and durable combo.
the 572 CID G.M. crate engine is a similar example of a well tested crate engine, that is built under similar limitations
