thanks Don.
still doesn't quite make sense.
the words :
The deposit price is $1575, of the $4175 of the second install group.
Final payment of $2600 is due before shipping,

Well maybe you are right. Perhaps that is a very vague and odd way of
saying it's $ 1,175 + 2,600 = $ 4,175 total.

Maybe what he is getting at is 'the 2nd generation kit is $ 4,175
total price........... and the way you pay for that is 1,175 up
front,,and 2,600 at the tail end, plus shipping of course.
yeah........that must be it, ( I guess ! ) thanks.

what is the TOTAL COST of the kit, and does it include the actual engine
itself or not ?

i know it has to include the ECU and wiring harness as Jim makes the
wiring harness 'fresh' it's not a modified ford part or whatever, and
the ECU is re-reprogamable for economy or performance, for example.......'
so that has to be included, but i'm not clear if the engine itself is,

- but i 'guess' you have it right.

thanks again.
Just wish it was spelled out clearly. Heck i might want to put a deposit
down on one, if he'd sell to me that is !
:-)
