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.

IANALawyer but I very much doubt that the lack of an exchange of cash or
of a formal place of regular business will effectively keep one out of
USofA civil courts over an allegation of loss or injury.
Consider: You are a Good Guy, you help me out by doing over my brakes
in your driveway, I pay you nothing. A month later a rusty brake line
pops during an attempted panic stop. I survive and haul you into court
because you knew or ought to have known that a dangerous condition
existed (and because I'm a jerk, am under insured and need the cash).
"Why," my tinhorn from the firm of Dewey, Cheetham and Howe screeches to
the judge, "Mr. Honea might just as well have put a ticking timebomb
under my client's driver's seat! Honea was under the car, did the
brakes and _let_ my client drive away in a lethal deathtrap." I might
not be able to convince a jury that you had a duty to guard my safety
but it will cost you at least $10,000 in lawyer fees to defend yourself
against my suit.
Wanna settle right now for, oh, $6K, before my tinhorn finds out that
you hold a $1M umbrella policy on your house?

Re: How much $ to charge for engine assembly?
You get some truly bizarre judgemnts your side of the pond ; like the case 2
months back of some teenage girls who baked some cookies and left them on
their neighbour's front door step - neighbour sued the girls successfully
for $1000 as she had a panic attack on seeing the cookies.
Fortunately here there is a deterrent in suing people ; if you can't make it
stick, you are responsible for ALL of the costs, including theirs. Plus if
it is particularly stupid or petty, the lawyers get a bollocking for wasting
the court's time.
which reminds me of a small limerick.
There once was a man named Rex
Who had diminutive organs of ---
As he flashed them about
He let out a great shout
"De minimis non curat lex" (the courts are not concerned with small
things).
