Maybe so, but that's probably just counting the hard parts which he gets at cost and not the machine work. It will also very likely be freshened up after every race/pulling season if it doesn't pop during the season. One thing it will not be is a 20,000 mile per year daily driver. I rather doubt it's even streetable at that power level.

The SouperDooty? He bought that with no engine and built a twin turbo common rail Cummins to put in it.

No. I would recomend studs with stage 2's. Anything over 40lb of boost is an the danger zone of streching stock head bolts. Girlde is way different. It keeps the block from twisting and cracking

You could always do a cummins swap. One of my buddies swapped a 12V into his 1996 F350. Out runs my powerstroke. If my engine ever pops, I'm probably going cummins or built powerstroke.
