So he would have been a few more thousand dollars in the hole with a new one.

I really have no idea what machine work runs, especially at that level. It really isn't cheap to build that kind of power. I might be finding out tomorrow that I am going to need to machine an engine I bought that was supposed to be fresh from the shop with only dyno time on it. I can understand the being into it too far to go back and if I need to get this new engine redone I am going to lose my mind. I can't wait to see what HP/TQ numbers it cranks out.
