It will be a couple of weeks before the folks at RKAutowerks gets to tear the engine down. As soon as I hear something I will share it.

is it $8500 with the core block exchange? Also, since you got the engine swapped at an indy shop, does it show up on any sort of car history report (carfax/True360)?
