oh im so excited!

 

Not that good of a deal, to me anyway. I know of a place you can get one for around $400 more, but with a dart sportsman block. Even this would be a better deal.

why are these motors so much damn money? i swear it should cost a fraction of that to build one. pay me and i'll build it for ya

 

i paid 5k for my world man o war 460ci short block which was pretty much a block crank rods and pistions

 

Workman's comp, EPA regulations, employee benefits, marketing, shipping, Ebay fees ...

A general rule of thumb in business is that you have to charge three times an employee's wage to pay the overhead and include a profit. Obviously, this can vary greatly from business to business, but you get the idea.

 

The oil pan, valve covers, timing cover and manifold in the photo is not included is this sale.

Did You notice this?

 

yep

 

I wouldn't pay that much even if it had the valve covers, etc. That is a ridiculous inflated price for what you are getting.

 

so maybe my best bet is just buying a block and building it? prolly cheaper that way..

 

Yeah, you can build that engine for less than 3 grand. Sure would be fun too.
