yeah i doubt someone who works at a shop has actually spent 6,000 dollars on the thing, probly more like a grand. but its still a badass motor. do you think it will fit with my motormounts and flexplate and all? an fe is an fe right? i think everything is all the same except the crank, pistons, rods, and heads

You'll need a 428 flywheel to keep the balance correct, since they are externally balanced. Not a bad deal IF it's all they say it is. Pistons and gaskets are over $1k any more, let alone any other work that's been done.
