Well unless the guy has receipts for everything i would just assume the internals are bone stock too. If so you can buy rebuilt stock long blocks for $15-1700 so throw in the price of
hooker LT's $500
CC 305 $200
A better than stock chain if he used one $100-200
Valve springs $150
Electric water pump $150
roller rockers $250
You saved about $400 over buy the parts new, and then you would know what you have.

Some guys on this board with just ported heads and a big cam are pushing 425-455rwhp on this board with LT1s.

It turns out that I was told the heads are stock. I did not pay attention. I knew it was too good to be true. 
I'm thinking about giving Lloyd Elliot a call now.
