With a good solid core engine, a full rebuild in the aftermarket can be 30 grand. With all new parts, I don't see it as under 40 grand even if Porsche ramped up production.
It is a lot different than a Chevy 350 small block. I bought a brand NEW crate 350 from GM for $1,700 delivered to my door. And it came with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty!
It is nice to see them making efforts to make some parts for our old car available. My understanding is that Mercedes can supply pretty much any part for any Mercedes. The price may be staggering, but it is there. Jay Leno said he needed a new window switch for his Mercedes 600 that is not electric, but Hydraulic. That one new window switch was 11 grand!
