Looks interesting.
Two things:
1) What induction would you run on it?
2) Is this an issue? "May not be smog legal for your state and county."

It looks slightly overpriced.
and as five7 hinted at, those are fast-burn cylinder heads, they have vortec-style ports, so you would have to run a vortec-specific intake.
also those heads don't have an EGR crossover, so they wouldn't be 100% emissions legal.
If you are looking to buy a crate motor it sounds like a reasonable deal, but if you feal half-way confident to build and engine yourself, you could get a lot more motor for your money.

I wouldn't trust buying that from Fbodymotorsports either!
(note: Thirdgen resource is also Fbodymotorsports!)
Read here as to why:

I think these links above should tell you enough to STAY
AWAY from them! Wait until Jeg's, Summit or a legit GM
performance dealer carries it for cheaper, or close to the
same price.

If your emmisions permit you could change over to carb and a non-CC dist. It would elimintate having to use the efi, which in stock form its doubtful it would even be drivable. If you do plan on using any sort of efi then you should learn how to set things up and tune with a computer before you pruchase an engine.

It would make a killer street engine, it's $4,725.00 at SDPC
ZZ383
and it's free shipping, however the HT383 would make a much better daily driver and it's $3998.00

Just keep in mind that itll need tuning if you use the efi so it wont be a turn the key and drive off sort of swap.
