Could anyone tell me if this engine is worth anything? I am told that it is a stock engine with stock horsepower. What might that be? Is this something that I could add the appropriate parts to and get going, and then add to later? Could I expect decent performance in Auto-X with this motor. I am just building the kit now, and have never Auto-Xd before, but want to try with my kit, so if it is not 400 HP to start, it probably does not matter. I just don't want something with no acceleration to be found.
Would adding the appropriate parts be something that a little less than a shadetree mechanic could perform?
I appreciate any input.

BTW, Engines direct has these for sale all of the time, and I can get one for the $1000 without going to the auction, so if it is a good deal for someone, go ahead and bid away.
