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.

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.

Correct its all time time and more time !!!!, I think i spent close to 300 hrs on my cressida , the final results sure do show tho , prob the neatest 2J cressida conversion around .

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.
