    efi manifold and computer ? with some better controls your 22r could be made heaps better on fuel. what about a toyota lexcen V6 ? this seems a common conversion for these.
    so much stuff. so little time.

    depends on what time it takes to do the job,
    how many engine conversions get finished within a 40hr period?
    how much material do you use doing the job?
    how many parts need to be purchased to do the job?

    simple fact is custom work requires $$$ to replace the amount of time and effort a person has gone to in order to finish the job to a reasonable std.

    dont tell mos that he might get upset

    add up all the hours it takes to finish off a conversion and it would probly take 60-90hrs for a car to be done "properly" let alone materials used and its easy to come up with over 5k in labour alone.
