80 hours at $80/hr (usual for shops in this part of the world) is $6400. so your "turnkey" would have been $13.4K to be really turnkey. Hmmm...... . mcneely You will notice that the shops listed on the referenced document, state that their conversions are charged at their hourly rate times 15 hours ….. uh, er, well, the 80 just seems spontaneously contrived … or something? http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruvanagon/files/Engine%20Costs/ … at a cost of $1500.00. bob … admittedly, this document, from the files section of the Subaruvanagon/Yahoo group was placed their quite a long time ago, probably in the early 2000's, when Warren established the group/list. H&R, listed on that document, doesn't even do Subaru conversions any more, hasn't for maybe 4-5 years now. |
