There's about $10k in parts and machine work invested.

So realistically there's $13-14k invested in it assuming my time is worth $50 per hour.
Is this engine in Bethel? I wish I knew when I was in CT for XMAS. I would love to have seen it in person. Any idea if there was even an issue with cooling? There was a long thread here about cooling issues at high RPMs. I assume an engine like this in an SVX would require a highly customized radiator setup.

About the numbers, the stock engine produces 230HP and it sounded from the thread linked here that this engine produced somewhere above 390HP with 318HP being delivered to the wheels. Is that correct?
