Re: How much $ to charge for engine assembly?
 

I won't disagree there. I have helped two folks from this group rebuild
their engines. One in a snowbank, the other in an unheated garage at
-20 or so.

I worked for beer and the return favor.

Re: How much $ to charge for engine assembly?
 

I know people in Utah that barter, that's a good way to get what
you want, and not use any real money, so no taxes, all though I think
the revenuers still give them a bad time.
