The best explanation is on the website.  It's cheap because it's not fancy - we know what breaks inside the motor when you turn the power up, so we touch on those points (rods, pistons, oil pump gears), replace any necessary wear items (valve seals, etc) and leave the rest of it alone. No crank lightening, etc, although we can add stuff like that if someone is so inclined. We don't have them on the shelf since each motor is built to customer specs - compression ratio, bore size, piston-wall clearances, etc.
The basic motor ($2300) assumes you're looking for a reliable 250-300whp track package, and you can supply us with a 1.8 longblock to start with. For 300+whp cars, we strongly suggest adding a Boundary built oil pump. If you just want to buy a longblock from us, it's $3400 with a built oil pump, plus shipping (typically in the $300 range for freight shipping in the US).
July 2011 update: Boundary oil pumps and ARP main studs are now standard equipment in all of our longblocks. The price has jumped a little bit to reflect the new parts ($2899+core). The standard bottom end is now rated for 500whp.
Get in touch with us when you're ready to spec out your motor.
