About 20 years ago,I had the machine shop at the foot of the hill I live on rebuild a 1941 100 horse engine, an 81T as I best remember.It cost me $700.I was horrified! In today's money,we would be looking at 3 grand,I think,although Obama says there is no inflation.Nowdays,I take the most outlandish price I can think of and square it.I'm usually still a little low on price.It is unbelievable what cost can run.
