Is this engine builder nuts?

Not that his price sounds high, it doesn't. But for that money why don't you just buy a crate engine with a warranty? Done deal and your running down the road.



That's kind of what I was thinking. But if it comes down to it, I'll probably choose less hp over more money.

Another thing he said that threw me off was, "I'd recommend 4.10 gears, especially in a car that heavy. If you've got 320 hp and a 2200 torque converter, it could feel like a dog when you're just cruising around."

This car will see some highway miles and I don't want to be doing 3500 rpm at 65 or something.
