Dlang-
If you want a 427s/o, I think it will wind up costing you closer to 60k. A 428 can be done for 50-55 and maybe less depending on how much work you do yourself (or maybe more depending on what options you get). Figure out the list of options you want and figure out what they cost b/c they add up quickly- trust me-my order sheet with ERA has gone to 4 pages and grows longer every time I talk to Peter.
CobERA-
If you don't mind me asking, how much was it to have the aluminum under the hood added? Did Peter arrange that for you? My car is going to the painter in 2 weeks and I might consider getting the aluminum done also.
Also, who built your motor??
By the way, one bathroom? You got off easy. So far I have redone 1 master bath, 1 1/2 bath, dining room and master bedroom. Oh yeah, and a trip to St. Lucia (I really can't complain about the St. Lucia trip though.
)
