Re: Is this a good deal?
You can buy the LT4 hotcam kit which comes with cam, lifters, springs, retainers and locks, and 1.6 ratio aluminum rocker arms for right around 500.00. It's hard to place a value on someone elses stuff, (I would rather they just gave it to me 
), ask hin what he wants to get for it and see if it's worth it to you. If none of the stuff has been opened I'd say it's worth whatever he paid for it, but it never works out that way.

Re: Is this a good deal?
Only problem with the hotcam kit is I would never use the LT4 springs with that cam. IMO those springs are outmatched. You're actually close to coil bind with those on the hotcam with 1.6 rockers. Plus I'd be afraid a single spring, over time, would weaken and you'd lose RPM potential.
Get a good dual high lift valve spring for any aftermarket cam.

400 with the rockers and I'd do it. But not without, you can get better deals on the for sale forum.
I got my cam, and 1.6 SA roller rockers for 220. Hes not giving you that great of a deal probably cuz he doesn't want to bite the bullet and take a huge loss.
For 400 you should be able to get 1.6 roller rockers too.
