It’s close for anyone who is close
I'll strive to craft a more thoughtful response for you, though it may entail a $25 increase in the engine price to accommodate the additional time.
I dream of being in California, if only to have access to the same abundance of cars you enjoy. In retrospect, I believed I was offering it at a considerable discount, merely 25% of the core price. I truly never meant to cause offense, and I genuinely apologize if you interpreted it that way.
The engine's head has been removed, and the wiring carefully stored in a box to maintain its integrity. All peripherals are included. I find myself with an abundance of parts that need to find new owners. I empathize with your perspective.
I do believe there are still enthusiasts who cherish the prospect of installing this older engine in their cars. For those who lack the expertise to assemble it themselves, a skilled mechanic can tailor it to meet performance specifications, along with the requisite upgrades for brakes, suspension, steering, and the like. Personally, I agree with your inclination towards a more modern engine, perhaps one of the newer M engines. However, at this juncture in my life, I might opt for a vehicle already equipped with modern amenities—brakes, heating, AC, comfortable seating, and contemporary suspension. Would you find that amusing? Cheers!
