Subject:Engine Choices...Your Opinon?
From:Dustin Fitch
Date:Thu, 17 Apr 2003 20:10:59 EDT

Hey all.  i've been engine shopping lately.  I have the money now, so why not
blow it on the vangon, right.  Anyway...i need to ask all of you who have
experience with these new motors.  I've looked at a few different places,
tiico, bus depot, Boston Engine...ads here and there.  I've seen engines from
1395 on up to Boston Bobs 1.9L price of 2300 + core.

I know Boston Bob is the man on this end of things...I've heard this.  I am
right here in Massachusetts too....probably 30 miles from him.  I guess what
I'm asking is....why should I not just get the motor from tiico or bus depot
for 1895 plus shipping rather than spend an extra 400 or 450 even if Boston
Bob is right here near me.  What's the difference in these engines besides
price?  (I'm honestly leaning toward Boston Bob, but the price is...high.)
