Yeah, you forgot about the cost of freighting that engine block back and forth, which could be at least $150 on a one-way trip.....plus the "down-time" for the customer. I don't spend $500 on dinner.
It's been interesting to see the priorities and selling points from the customer side. Should have made this a poll, but it looks like the majority of guys looking for aluminum block builds are in it for the bling.
