Hey Scott. You know the ins and outs of the diesel mounting stuff about as well as anyone here. How much would you think to charge for converting a wbx van to an inline 4 gas engine using diesel bits where possible? Maybe you could offer that as a service and have people lined up around the block for a nice cheap conversion? Total parts and labor at $2500 sound right, like some people say? Or maybe $3000 since you do such nice work? The engines are only $300.
