I hear you about not being able to do the work myself. Sure wish that i could. It was about 35 hours of shop time to get the '97's engine torn down to find the problem, get the '92 donor sorted, and the rebuild done. Add $1500 in parts, and it was an ugly bill.

But these are unique cars and even if the 'market' doesn't rank them in the same league as similar higher-end GT/sports cars, I know I've got a great car and will enjoy every minute of seat time.

Cheers!
