Default Cobra Motor: Is this a good Price?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-to...spagenameZWD1V

I was kinda thinking about swapping the 4v into my GT for some performance, but this is kinda ridiculous. Is this a good price, or is this guy smoking crack?

Thats for the enging and trans though. While I wouldn't do it that's not a simply outrageous price.

Too much money for that kind of dough you can buy a ford stroker with sump pump with much higher HP

This is bull, buy a forged longblock a T Trim intercooled blower and tuning and a ton of other stuff for less then that motor, the 6 speed is nice but 12 G's? Give me a break.

the reason I ask, is that I want turnkey performance. By that, I mean, every single time I turn the key, the motor starts. I don't want to have any doubts as to the reliability of a motor. I've had my days of building motors. Getting too old to get stuck on the side of the road.

but 12.5k is just too much. I was thinking a 4v motor would cost me 4-5k, and a transmission about 2k
