Re: [DMCForum] $1000 Kapac Engines

[DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think they would sell quicker if they were not so damn expensive for 
a low horesepower engine that fits only in one car.

It is not like you have a mass of Chevy 350's or Ford 302's that would 
sell at a higher price.

How many do you have in stock anyway?

How often do you sell a stock engine?
