Would anyone be interested in buying a rebuilt engine? Im thinking that since I have a couple that need rebuilt I may just build them and sell some to cover the cost (i.e. reinvest in my money pit).
Ford wants 4500 for a reman engine. I can get the same parts and have it machined and (hopefully) do the same for less.
Shipping would be an issue on the final cost (I havent the slightest idea what it would cost to ship an 1100+lb complete engine to _________)
I have a local pump rebuilder, access to injectors, complete rebuild kits from ford, and the know how to completly measure the engine before and after machining for records purposes.
Just putting out a "feeler" to gauge what the interest would be and what a reasonable cost would be. Im not looking to make a ton, but I am going to have considerable labor involved in them. I would be the mechanic from tear down to reassembly doing everything but machining and pump rebuilding (I will leave that to the professionals (at least until I figure out how to do it myself, lol))
