I'd say budget in the vicinity of $5k.
$1000 for each cylinder and $1000 for the extra stuff like labor and small parts. Maybe an exhaust stack that needs replacement.

Definitely plan on more man hours than 10. If you are using a mechanic who is not familiar with the Ercoupe/small Continental baffling system, the time can grow quite rapidly. I would recommend getting a fixed cost for removal and reinstallation of the cylinders. If your mechanic is familiar with the engine, the fixed cost portion should not be a problem. Reusing the old cylinders can reduce the costs, but be sure to find an engine shop that is familiar with those cylinders. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 2/12/2010 9:57:17 A.M.
