It sounded to me like there were only 1 or 2 places in the country that set these blocks up. I do remember him saying that he would have ten grand in just the block!! Thats no rotating assembly either. It was cool though. I was impressed.
Those blocks are $1,700 brand new, for the tall deck, wet sump, which is the most expensive one. Add ~300 for finish machine work and you have a very stout block that's good for about 480" There is no way a DRCE block will cost 10K.
