fwiw, rebello motors are not really all that expensive, if you consider all they do and all you get. sure, they are more expensive than a local reman engine or a junkyard piece, but if you pay someone to do all the machining, put in new rods, new pistons, new valve, plus all the gear, line hone the block, etc, then you'll find most engine builders are close to the same money. Rebellos IT motors make great power and are as reliable as anyone's, and if you don't get them dynoed and order the basic long block, it will probably run $3500-4000. Now, add the header, dyno time, core price, shipping, clutch, flywheel, plus any spares, and the price naturally goes higher. I think there is some misconception about the cost of rebello motors.........
