sambo, last I heard, a new LS2 crate engine costs about $9000.00. You still need to buy a computer, BCM, FBW throttle assy, alternator and a flywheel.
Thats still a reasonable price for a 400HP ( minimum) state of the art, all alloy engine. I can assure you a well built 351W will cost $15000.00 and thats carburetted and iron block.
All you need to so is drink more cans for recycling into chev engines.
