Where does one get an engine for $250? I called Soko's representative
here in Illinois and the quoted me $1500 for a JDM DE engine. Am I
missing something?

Ratfink.  ;-)  Mein uberwagen manuals cost $125 for the 4 book set
(kept) and $202 for the 6 book set (sold - didn't need the 2 extra

A used 944 engine "only" goes for about $500-1,000.  Even 951 engines
are "only" about the cost of a DET.  YIKES.

So, looking at your e-mail address....  Are you in Texas these days?
