Anyone think of this motor as a swap. It looks real appealing.

I know a guy who works at a GM dealer, he has said alot of good things about this engine, they seem to have out a good amount of effort into building this engine too. I'd like to see how much they are after a couple years time though.

Looks like 6500-7000. Kinda hard to see the tach.
