No, you do not remember correctly. A GT500 crate motor is $16k and I'm not paying anywhere near that.
Here's what I wanting to do: Pull my existing 5.4L 3v with the whipple and replace it with a GT500 5.4L 4v with a Whipple 3.4 or maybe turbo.
I remember Rafa had over $30K in his motor build up and was looking at 650-700rwhp. Even if I bought the crate engine directly from FRPP for their price AND added the aftermarket S/C, I would still be in for far less than $30K AND have more HP potential. Tell me where my thinking is flawed.
