Nice "looking" engine but if I spent $3500 for a WBX it would be with GoWesty since I know who they are. Not that this guy doesn't build great engines, it's just that it would never pass the wife "sniff test".

Me-"Honey, I decided to get this cool engine on the Samba for $3,500". Wife-"I thought you were only going to spend $1,500-$2,500 on the engine." Me-"Yeah, but look at all this "stuff" this guy adds!" Wife-"What do you need that for?" Me-"That makes it run better and last longer." Wife-"You mean the one you were going to buy was no good?" Me-"No, it's just that this one's better!" Wife-"How do you know it's better?" Me-"Look how he's painted the manifold that cool color and look at these cool parts I don't even recognize as being from a WBX. Plus read this description of how great it is." Wife-"If it's twice as much as the engine you were going to get, will it last twice as long?" Me- "I dunno..."

Some of you may recognize this conversation.
