Sorry. It's just that a LOT of time (200++ hours) and money ($33,000+) have been put into that car so i take things personally and it sounded like you were implying I was not handy or good at sourcing parts, which in fact that is what I do professionally.

In my build thread I explain my motor selection and the reasoning behind it. The most important part of the build for me was to make sure that I could easily replicate it. Meaning that all parts would be available in a timely manner, not having to rely on used parts.

I would also challenge you to "build" a comparable motor to mine for a "lot less", meaning not just surfing eBay for the most powerful used motor someone is dumping for $2k, but built fresh with new bearings etc. to make a reliable 480 HP. Something you would warranty for a customer.

I purchased the motor and controller kit which includes everything needed to run the motor plus shipped to my door in 2 days for $7,836.79. As I said it makes 480 horsepower and is basically stock with a camshaft upgrade and no aftermarket tuning. Plus has a 2 year warranty.

Don't forget that time is money so weather you are paying someone to do it or you do it yourself, that is an added expense.
