Obviously the 8 injector plenum and the T4 what else?

Well I'm considering a naughty engine and was thinking about having an engine built instead of having my car off the road and wondered if RS500 block would be the best base If I could find one, can you PM me a price on the one you have. Also what is different on the RS500 head?
