So what'd it end up costing you in the end per engine?

I'll be updating the distributer, alternator, and maybe power steering pump in the future, but the total current cost to get it on the water this summer will be $12-14K for BOTH dyno'd and tuned engines and around another $1,500 or so into the engine bay. Most of the engine bay money went to fiberglass repairs and awlgrip. I also sold around $1,500 worth in used parts. When finished I will post my parts list. I think I have around 50-70 hours in it, Txhawk probobly has around 15-20. Still a lot of work left.

You are going to have to work on your math. I think we had 8 hours in it the first night! Its fun relaxing work.

Someone needs to clean that floor.

LOL. Your right about the hours. I think you had 15 into the two "other" engines before we had to disasemble them and have the builder build us two new ones to start all over with.
