Most of us are afraid to know, we might talk in our sleep.

I'm out just under $4000 for my 276 '50 Mercury engine. That includes cleaning, mag test, pressure test, turn crank, bore (includes one sleeve), balanced, deck the block, surface the heads, new hi flow valves, new guides, new LZ springs, new seats, hollow adjustable lifters, pistons, rings, resize rods, regrind cam, all new bearings, gaskets, 95% filter parts. I still have carburetion to go after it is broken in. I did the assembly myself with plenty of advice from the generous folks here on the 'Barn. Now add rebuilt clutch, transmission rebuild parts, electric fan, clean and add 2 outlets to radiator, rewire the engine compt and it turns into an expensive project.
