Cost of Cosworth worth the price?

Decided to stop by the shop today to check in on my car. The head is off the stock block, and is currently at the shop getting worked on. Meanwhile, the Cosworth block was put in. As you can see in the pictures, it looks pretty damn dirty and dusty. It sat in an open crate in the corner of a garage for a while before I decided to pick it up :P Anyways, the car will be running at 2.2L. Yes, 2.2L... if you don't know, the retail shortblock that Cosworth sells is a 2.5L, that retails for about $4.9k to 5.4k. This is a custom FULLY built 2.2L shortblock, that I'm now allowed (thx Gruppe-S) to say, I purchased for $2.9k, NEW. The head is being cleaned and re-machined for a newlike performance so that it runs like silk when matched up with the new Cosworth block. I still havn't decided on the turbo setup yet.

And.... is the "Cost of Cosworth worth the pirce?"..... Yes.

Pics from my iPhone again...
