My 400 is sitting at the builder right now as well. I am in for $5k, and the only thing being kept is the block. Everything else is scrapped.
I took a tour of the guy's garage, to see how he kept his stuff.... It was all clean and organized. He has a machine shop in his garage, which is good for keeping cost down.
Sucks to be messed with.
