Don't think you can get what you want for that low of a price.
here's a few sites you can look at to get some idea what the real world prices are
www.summitracing.com
www.jegs.com
www.holcombmotorsports.com
www.coasthigh.com
www.fordracing.com

You and your holcombmotorsports
Not much a fan of their online site too much.
Think it says you have to order their catalog or something

thanks guys, i am reluctant to buy an engine from summit because they are expensive. I was thinking of like a wholesale underground garage that is still reliable. Even if its in your area or something.. oh well thanks anyway

just remember that you get what you pay for and there are a lot of counterfeit parts made overseas out there that some of these low priced shops are using so I wouldn't count on one of them for a reliable engine if I were you. Check around with some of the local guys or racers in your area for their recommendations on a good local shop or engine builder.

i think summit racing has the gt40 long block engine for like 3700 this is prally your best bet. PART #FMS-M6007-XE3 very nice deal @ 3200 plus shipping.
