I sent him an e-mail saying that I could feasibly make a "bulk order" for a "stationary application" and asking for an opinion about that.
I'm being diplomatic and very polite about the whole thing, since they're the only people who sell these, and I don't want to come across as a rude American or something of the sort.

I'm just guessing but I'd say probably $3k + freight. Still cheaper than a Metric Motors engine, especially given the fact that if these things are being sold as a set, they're going to have new turbochargers, injection pumps, etc. (I don't think they'd just ship an engine block for use as a generator, without even the support parts needed to make it operate.)
Hell, being non-U.S.-spec, they might even have the "good" M(?) pumps instead of the MW pumps.
