That's true $600 IS 3 times $200. But that doesn't mean that the engines in
general are 3 times the price... they aren't. I'm just showing you yet
another example of something you can't get with the ABA. You won't find 30
of them for $600 shipped, all with under 8k miles on them. And for the $200,
the ABA will still have way higher mileage. Sorry about the long link.
Actually it would be much more helpful for me to see what you mean if you go
to car-part.com and lookup what you're talking about and tinyurl the link to
me... pmail perhaps
Jim

Our average price paid is $600 shipped to boston, all less than 8k miles
across 30 engines so far, that is very hard to find in anything else.

That's a pretty generic link.
I poked around but could only find zetecs in the $1000 price range.

The zetec sounds like a nice engine.
Too bad you can't buy for $200 like the ABA.
