Very true, I am collecting parts for a 340 build...its adding up because this is the "spare engine" that came with my car that I purchased back in 93. There was alot missing and I am piece by piece finding things, when I add up cost I ask myself "should I count shipping? it isn't really what I actually paid for the part" Really I am thinking shipping may ultimately be 20-30% of my build cost. I am trying to track cost of the build and I suppose I should get everything then only count the gaskets, bearings, and machine work etc. for a realistic idea what it costs these days:0 its as if,in my situation the shipping is the cost of diong business. I know the seller isnt making anything on that.`
