That's ridiculous.

If he doesn't have the tools to do a simple timing chain switch, he damned sure isn't going to have what he needs to swap a motor.

I mean christ, if his indy is going to (over)charge him $2k-$3k for a simple chain swap, what are they going to want to swap out a whole motor? $10k?

I got my project car for $100. Are you trying to say any repair over $100 isn't worth it?
