| you can pick a donor up from anywhere between 200 & 800 depending on quality really. Then its not much work to put them in to be honest, i would only charge around 1200 for the conversion. Most more established companys ask around the 2500-3000 mark but im trying to build up a reputation so doing very cheap work to start with. | |

By the time you can insure it , there will be better engines around..
