Here is the deal.
I have several motors that I could build.
I am working on quite a few 356's now.

I would like to figure out if I could make a few bucks by building, testing, (leak down and compression, no dyno) and selling these motors complete.

If the value is there, I will do it.
Otherwise I will sell each item on ebay.

I am testing the waters here.

value vs what the market will bear. I have seen "rebuilt" engines of unknown origin sit for months at a grand while a good 2.0 from a known source with references will sell quickly at under 3k but stutter around the 4k mark
