If you're looking for a crate engine to throw your money away on, I'd suggest JG Engine Dynamics or the Mr. Gasket "Beast". When you're tossing around a couple grand, you might as well get SOME benefit from larger displacement, stronger internals, higher compression, etc etc etc.

Reminds me of my boss that dumped almost $10,000 for a SCCA GT-spec 4AGE (Toyota) engine from a "big name in SCCA Toyota engines". My buddy and I helped him install it and after reviewing the fact sheet, we could have bought all of the parts ourselves for less than $3,000. Toss in $300 for bottom end work, and it would have been identical short of the "ported and polished head". I don't know many places whose port and polish is worth $6500ish but whatever... You don't even get that with the Spoon motor.

You're paying $9000 for a sticker, some high-temp paint, and a blueprinting that a reputable shop would charge you less than $1500 for.
