NuBus got an engine that had 44K SMOH (since major overhaul). It came out of a diesel dasher...The total price for the swapout was $1100 including tax... Now older and wiser, (and slightly wealthier), I may opt for buying a rebuilt longblock from Recycled Inc., and pay the mechanic for the extra time and materials to install..(I am on airplanes most of the time and don't have time for the major project...). This engine is so small sizewise that I think I could manhandle it myself..(maybe wishful thinking) Matthew drahzal@convex.com
