The biggest cost of these engines are the "BOLT ON" accessorizes. Headers/Ing. system/Oil pan/Injection/Pumps... been told by a few builders that a long block D-2 ecotech is like $1500-$2000 without oil pan and 2 others $2500-$3000 with oil pan, race ready (long block)....You have a 1 time $7500/$10,000 investment for the complete race ready engine,,,or you can still go out buy the bolt ons and get your own long block have the machine work done yourself and put it together for less then that...hell just put a claim rule on the long block (Block/Crankshaft/Head and Cams) say $1700 without oil pan or $2300 with oil pan....no tech...no teardown...problem solved...if you refuse to sell the engine (long block) you will not be allowed to race at ANY Division II series period for a year.
