That really sucks.
BTW, there are alternatives to a Raby engine at much lower costs
Does Raby build a great engine, YES.
Are other alternatives viable, YES
Here is a guy in the Chicago area that just moved to Florida that sells engines and charges IIRC $1000 for removal and install

Isn't there a long wait for a Raby engine?
The Raby engines are highly upgraded and simply great engines. I am not going to get into a discussion of RABY vs others, just that there are alternatives.
YMMV
