i got totally ripped off on the engine..... everything was f*ed up when i got it, all i could use was the block, crank, pistons, and rods. i used my old bluetop head, which is the same as the GZE head BTW, and rebuilt the block, i sold the SC and all brackets, piping, intercooler, and electronics for like $200, and when threatened by a lawsuit that he knew he was going to lose the seller refunded me 300 bucks, i ended up paying 800 for the block, crank, pistons, rods and valve covers that includes shipping so for the actual product i paid around 500.

i bought the engine from a private person who had one sitting around in spokane washington, i would not reccomend him to anyone, he is a complete idiot but he did give me some cash back and made things right so i told him i would not give his name out to anyone.
