I don't remember the name of the company, but I saw a ad for a engine builder that advised their 318 crate engines at $8,500. That was a couple of years ago and I think that I could build 2 for the price of his one. His 318's were like 300 hp.
Thats pretty crazy! BluePrint Engines offers several HP levels of 408 starting at 6500 for a dyno tested 408, so I couldn't imagine paying 8500 for a 318. Yikes!
