That was a well written story. Wish I could have been there to see the magic happening.

$900 for a built 2.4L shortblock is a great deal!

It actuality, the guy only took $700 from him that night because that's all he could get from the ATM and then in the morning he said don't worry about the rest. All in, including purchasing tools, I think he was less than $1200.
