Wow, just wow. That is more than I paid for my 33,000 mile 84 Euro 5-speed in 2009. And mine came with a crankshaft, pistons, etc. And I drove it home, and have been since.
There is the business of doing art and the art of doing business. This was very very cleaver and of course one wonders how many will try and do the same thing. I must admit, I have a 16v motor with a hole in the block that I considered this. Now I'm really considering it. I doubt we will see one at IKEA.
I've seen that done with the bare block before, but never where the intake sticks out of the surface. It's pretty cool tbh, although I think I would prefer the original metal finish to those colors.
