Sam, or anyone else, what's a rough guestimate on shipping something
like a short block. I'm sure I'd still come out way ahead of the
$1800+ the local dick- I mean dealer wants.

I told the guy at the parts counter that most places I have checked
were in the 1200 - 1300 dollar range. He actually said "yeah they can
sell 'em for that and still make some money, but their cutting their
throats pretty bad". And I'm thinking: yeah you guys will be making
$0.00 off me on this block and those other guys will be making
something at least. Now whose cutting their throats? I guess they
would rather make their money off of the 1 in 10 shmuck who actually
buys their overpriced parts......

Oh, does Monicatti have a website? Thanks.
