    It isn't the fact that it is a nice engine...it is the fact you could do it yourself for half the price.

    Granted though...just an FYI...I'd look around your area for a competient engine builder...or talk to people at the local drag strip...someone that knows their chit...most of the time it is the backwoods people that build the best stuff for a fraction of the cost.
