<< $3500 does sound like a lot of money (it is), but that seems
 to be a reasonable price for the crate motor. Heck, price an
 aircraft engine sometime! A Lycoming O-320 which makes anywhere
 from 150-180HP (depending on how its configured) sells for $19,000.
    Granted, its apples and oranges, but it makes that crate engine
 seem like a downright bargain! :-)

Jon,
   Do you know how much a crate motor from Chivvy cost!! A 350 is about 2200!!
Thats cheap! But 350's are like assholes!! Everyone has one!
  I guess CC figures if you want to be the top dog you must be willing to
pay!!
