When I did the engine swap on the El Camino after the original engine was all wore out after just 300,000 miles I toyed with lots of different crate engine possibilities. All it took was money and changing the daily driver into a gas sucking fire breather.

The $1,700 complete brand new crate engine I went with has plenty of power for every single thing I need it for. And I did not need a all new rear end, suspension and brakes to fit a 600 HP monster engine.

I suspect Richard will spend more on labor alone than my entire brand new 350 engine cost me. It will be nice to have that 928 back on the road. Probably just in time for the ice and s***.
