South Bend's quality and performance are second to none. You certainly get a lot of product when you get a SBC. Spend your money once - it'll pay in the long run.

I can not speak for the nv4500. all i know is that the product southbend makes is like FarmBoy Diesel said is second to none. i would say just do it right the first time.
