Fred, I have nothing personal against Vertex, but one time while attending an MRO show in Miami I visit their facilities and based on what I saw at that shop, I would Not consider getting one of those engines regardless of the cost.. (if you want more details please send me a PM)
Note: I had (limited) experience assembling air cooled VW, Fiat 4, and Alfa 6 cyl engines and I attended to the Flat6 engine assembly class in GA and would feel comfortable assembling an M96/97 engine, Flat6 also offers their assembly course on CD's.
.
PS: before having a chance to build my M97 engine my car got totaled..
