If you want a professional like Olthoff or someone like Stewart Hall here locally to do your install to a high standard, with a nice all-aluminum FE, rebuilt transaxle, detailed and sorted, corner balanced, all the proper parts in all the proper places, buyer "upgrades", shipping here and there, labor and profit, then I bet $50,000-$60,000 won't be enough.

I went through the numbers back in 2007 before buying my Kirkham. If you can do all the work yourself, say like Dean with his RCR, then there's no problem.
