What do you think about this 318 guys.

When I hear guy’s spending money like that on an engine like that I am so thankful for my Dad. My Dad knew nothing about cars except for minor maintenance and how to keep them nice. But he refused to pay for something he could teach himself to do. I have 5400.00 in my current build because of that. I paid and waited 13 months for an engine and told the builder I would never wait again. He laughed as I walked out. I got the last laugh. Lol
I am curious how much of that guys build was machine shop/assembly... i don't trust machine shops so i expect them to screw people (i know... all aren't the same...) i come up with bout 8k in parts off the top of my head for that build.. machine shop could have soaked him 2-3k for machining/build..
