You're probably right - but if you can't source a new engine for a reasonable price, you're basically screwed (unless you're a crook and going to rebirth one! So watch out if you have a jezza black M3 with cream interior!
Seriously though, you can source a crate engine for a late model HSV without too many dramas... the M3? Not so much...
