is this a good price

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

that was my original plan, but unfortunatley i can't touch a 2l block around 
here for under $600, and thats with 100+k on them! if i could get the block 
i'd be in business. and from what i'm hearing from everyone else, i used 
block w/ 70k would probably last longer then the motor from gex.
