They are pretty involved, but not that hard.
8-10hrs of work depending on how thorough the builder is w/the job.

When I reached out to Turner Ent. back around 2000, his price was $350 plus the cost of freight. Given what the mod can help with, I had an idea & tried doing one on my own. I bought a welder & plasma cutter. It took some time & I learned some things. I subsequently did more of them w/the goal to do enough to pay for the welding machine. I accomplished that goal.

I used to keep one of each done (63-72; 73-87) but they took-up too much space.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
