The biggest costs are usally labour, so if you have access to the equipment
and have the skills to do the work then there is a good chance of making
money. There are other factors such as the purchase price of the vehicle to
be restored and having good contacts to get parts at the right price
Back in the mid 80's there was a company that was importing V8 GM diesel
motors over here to re-power landcruisers and the like. However the motors
soon build a reputation as being rubbish. They sounded nice though.

I have seen a 450SLC converted to manual to rally. It is owned by Joe
Alexander and he was not happy because they bumped him into modified class
because the 450's never came with manual, I seem to remember him saying that
