Wow, it always amazes me how the truth gets blown way out of proportion sometimes. It seems that each time a rumor is repeated, it gets modified just a little to suit the perception of the person passing on the rumor... Eventually it's way out of wack!

To set the record straight, the following are our approximate prices on BADGER and D2 engines:

Esslinger BADGER legal FORD engine as pictured in the first post of this thread = ~$18,000

Esslinger "D2" legal Ecotec or Honda engine with wet-sump = ~$12,000
Esslinger "D2" legal Ecotec or Honda engine with dry-sump = ~$15,000

After reading through this thread, it seems prices are in-line with other engine builders in this market. Along with our engine program offerings, we also offer our best knowledge and products to everyone who is interested in purchasing them. We don't play favorites, and every one of our National engine customers can attest to that. When we figure out something better, we offer it to EVERYONE! Believe it or not, the owners and management of our business cares more about the health of midget racing than most people could ever imagine.

If anyone has questions about our BADGER or "D2" engines or parts, I can be reached directly M-F 8:30-5:00 PST at (909) 539-0544 extension 3.
