Cost = HIGH
Cost with reliability = Even HIGHER
Part of the reason you might be seeing what you consider low "core" cost is that most experienced people know you have a high probability of the block being cracked (probably 50/50 chance). Sometimes you're lucky and they're small, easily repaired cracks, sometimes (too often) the cracks render the block useless.
If you're thinking a full dressed flatty that might put out 225-250 realistic hp (not pie in the sky guessing/wishing), $8-9000 is not uncommon.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 07-10-2005 at 09:32 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
