Would you buy a engine for your IDF Sherman?

Here's a little something I'm just woundering about.
From 1 to 10.
How much would you be willing to get a VT8-460 Cummins +Engine Compartment in 1/35th scale for your M50/M51?
That is if one was on the market for the IDF Modeller.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers
Mike

Couldn't resist answering :-)
Since I build 99% of my models with all hatches closed
I wouldn't spend a penny/cent/dime on an engine.
Just my two cents .....

For those who build with open hatches I would think that
an engine would be interesting.
Would the engine itself, if it came separated from the engine
compartment, be useful for any other vehicle?

Mike

Are you thinking of producing, manufacturing or marketing one? Or are you looking for one and trying to get an idea of price?

Hi Bob,
I'm toying with the thought of marking for sale to anyone who's into IDF Shermans or who may what one.
This posting is about seeing if anyone may want one.
Cheers.

If you would be so kind as to allow me, I'd like to see a basic engine/interiour in every kit. Those who want to super detail it have a basic starting point and thus those who want to show the hatches open with or without figures have also something.
Just my 2 cents.

I have only built 2 kits with open engne hatches a Tiger 1 and an M60a1. I have put a Sherman engine into one kit that I replaced the deck screen and was disappointed about what could be seen. I would not have any interest in one, especially one so narrowly focused.
