[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16509220, member: 21786"] I made it pretty clear that's not what I buy them for and my retail price is within a few hundred plus or minus of what the manufacturer suggests. A lot of it is warranty costs but that is built into all motors. In my comparison I was stating that a long block Hemi 5.7 is $6k. When you are swapping a motor you don't have to put another $4k into it to get it running when you have the parts from the original motor. This is repairs we are talking about, not performance swaps, and it was just to compare a much lesser quality reman motor's cost to the cost of a brand new complete motor out of the box. $7k isn't a lot for a brand new motor like this. BTW, I purchase from the largest engine suppliers in the nation with the best warranties that are able to deliver to me within days so we're talking LKQ, Jasper, GM parts, Ford parts, etc, but mostly LKQ because they top everyone usually in all categories. There's smaller suppliers sure, like FMP's powertrain company they use, but I have priced them out too and they are on average $300-400 more and they take significantly longer usually. [/QUOTE]
