$10-20,000 for a 400hp electric motor. A gas engine would cost a couple hundred bucks.

$200 for a 400HP car engine... They hyperbole is strong with this one.

The last time I had an engine rebuilt (mid 1980s) it was over $1100, and this was for a 67 HP VW Beetle engine.

Where can you get a new 400hp gas engine for a couple hundred bucks?
