If he was happy with the price he was charged, and its still new, surely he knows what its still worth?

depends who built it too

i personally wouldnt buy a engine thats been built by a hme mechanic thats donw less that 2k miles

but if a pro built it then recon 350 is about right as ya can get em built to ya own spec for around a grand


its abit like rebuilding a s2 turbo, may spend 10K on it but its still worth 2500 to most people unless its special
