  I'm pretty sure Jules is starting with the stock 318 and 360 motors,
not the crate motors. I'm no expert, but I'd guess you could build the
same thing yourself for $5-6K, and it'd be bolt in too. (~2K for a used
engine, maybe 3K new?, and about $3K for a Vortech and accessories)
(Ok, maybe $7K, but you still saved $3K)
