Cheap ol engine, cheap ol tranny. Installation can be done by the owner. The shops don't have to do everything. So thats 800 for just the parts. Labor was probably all done by hand. And why are you going to question a 4 year old thread jbmbusa probably wont answer you lol.

Update: Its a Chevy V8 with an auto tranny and the wheels spin in every gear. It has a manual tranny but that destroyed the rear diff. Once you get up above 500hp the stock diff and train cant handle the load and will break.

500e engine and cheap arent really two words found in the same sentence unles sits "500e engines are never cheap" or something similar. Plus they are a bitch to do ANY work on yourself.
