So is 40 HP worth $2,000?

My seats are packaged and hopefully will be going to the shipper tomorrow if I can get it worked out.

The engine out of the car is still not sold, a 32 valve 340 HP 4.2!

I asked how much, he said 1000 pounds ($2,000) plus shipping which would be about $600.

Is 40 HP really worth $2600? I don't think so, but thought it would be fun to see if anybody thinks it is.

Sounds very tempting, but it's not worth it to me..

I don't know if you can install an engine yourself, but if not that has to be some decent coin as well.

No but combine that with 2 of these..

and you have a 50,000 Watt 240v 60Hz generator..
Thats worth $3800!

Just set cruise at 1800rpm.. and YOUR SET!

Does that include the ECU etc? Even so, I don't think it's worth it..

Yes

I agree with you....for $2800 I could get a procharger low pressure supercharger and intercooler, then I would just mod my car to get it to work!
