Based on my one experience in buying a built engine over the internet, I would not recommend the approach to Osama. There are myriad fine points involved in building an engine, and without tearing your new purchase down and inspecting (and miking) all the critical variables, you really will not know what you're buying. I went for a Chevy LT1 383 blower motor from a sincere and knowledgable sounding character in AZ. By the time I finished checking everything, I had purchased a forged stroker crank...for $6500.
