Currently I can only account for two V8 Crossfires in the world, 1 in the UK and 1 in Germany, NONE in North America. One of the two was for sale for $177,000 (I hope he got it).

Engine $2100, shipping form CA to Texas $280, C43 exhaust manifolds $299, One replacement valve cover and three missing coil packs $130, $40 misc. cleaning supplies and paint = $2,839.

To finish the project I still need: ECU unclock $250, program to car $250, Fan $200, = grand total of $3,539 My original budget was $4,000 so with the extra I should be able to get new exhaust gaskets, valve cover gaskets and water pump gaskets and two new SL55 intake tubes (air box to radiator support).

To do an SRT-6 engine I would get the engine, uncut engine harness, ECU and Dash cluster for the best price possible, add about $500 for ECU unlock and program. Doing the work yourself, you end up at about the same cost.
