I feel $11,500 is a steep price for a naturally aspirated almost 500hp engine that doesnt come with an engine harness or ecu. Slap a supercharger on it for an additional $10,000 and still, .....the engine harness and (now special supercharged) ecu is not supplied that costs extra.

Not in the Coyote realm.. A sleeved, final machined & ready to assemble block alone will set you back around $3,400 in my market.

I just think the price will be MUCH higher than you would hope because they know some are going to be replaced by the warranty, and then consider how much it would cost you to build a reliable(enough to give a warranty) 800 hp motor?

low boost coyote can make good power, and it also does not take a whole lot to screw it up though and no hp. As black said $25 for a good motor goes fast and we all know the rules of good - fast - cheap / pick 2. They are just the laws of the universe, we can't fight it.
