Sorry, I missed this. Yeah, Vintage-Nut's links are correct.
I think I paid less than $1,800... but that was probably almost a year ago now when I first bought it. It took a couple of months for it to arrive (was rebuilt in Mexico by NuTech). I'm pretty happy with what I received... everything was STD size (I know because I took the cyl heads off), so I know it wasn't some really beat to **** motor, but an actual decent fairly low mileage motor that was rebuilt. The problem I have of course is that stock isn't good enough for me. I figure this will be the last engine I ever put in this car because I don't want super high performance... I just want modern performance, and as much horsepower as I can get with everything looking totally stock. I don't want to get passed by pickup trucks and Toyota Camrys on the merge lanes.
From my old links that Vintage-Nut posted, it looks like the only company that still has one left is from ATK, through JEGS: https://www.jegs.com/i/ATK-...es/059/DCC9/10002/-1
It shows ~$2,200... which, if I'm being completely honest, is really not a bad price at all. You're basically getting a drop-in motor that all you need to do is drill one hole, and tap another.
I went a little overboard, and I just purchased a set of DOHC pistons to bump my compression to ~9.5-9.7 (I guess I'll find out), as well as a Crane H272 camshaft, and port / polished cyl heads with SI stainless swirl "tulip" valves... along with some other odds and ends. My goal is 200hp, which I think I'll get. I'm also going with West Coast Fiero shorty stainless headers, and swapping in a 5-Speed Getrag that I have sitting on the shelf from a Fiero GT that had only 30k miles when it was T-boned (I think I either bought it from Blacktree or someone else on here like 20 years ago... just sitting in a crate).
