Heaven knows what they had to do to adapt that engine to the car. Obviously, there's a lot of custom work involved, including mating the engine to the transmission (which was never mean to deal with the Chevy's torque), plus brakes, etc. I wouldn't touch this baby without complete documentation of what was done or not done, how the fuel injection/ignition has been implemented, etc. Then...and only then, I'd consider something like $15K.
Let us know if you purchase it. Good luck!
