How the heck was that a $35K motor? You can get a pro-stock motor for that kind of money.
32k in parts and 3k in labor.
If you can find a legit pro stock motor for 35k, I'll take 10 . . and resell them. Here's a quote from the Jeg's Team: "A competitive Pro Stock engine produces upwards of 2.5 horsepower per cubic inch, an amazing figure for their size.
A complete Pro Stock engine can cost in excess of $175,000."

Here's a partial parts list of my motor that is nowhere near complete:
Shortblock 5k
Heads 2,200
Rocker Arms 1,900
Fuel System 2,800 (Ron's Fuel Flying Toilet and necessary accessories)
Ignition 1,100
I can show you the invoice from Standard if you want . . . hell, my pushrods are $300 plus . . lol
