“I was commenting strictly on Puppy's question, not whether or not you were planning to sell them. Shouldn't be a tough question (or secret information) in what you roughly have into the build for comparison between other engine platforms.”

So in today’s message board world, if someone asks how much you make, or how much you paid for your house, or how much your ex got in the divorce, you are obligated to answer? For many people these questions wouldn’t necessarily be tough to answer or even top secret, but they might be considered “none of your business.”

“We were just wondering on price for "comparison"..

One problem with answering this question on a message board is - the REAL answer isn’t as simple as typing in a dollar sign followed by a number. As I explained earlier, this engine is our PROTOTYPE 2.4 liter Honda Midget engine. While purchasing components for this build, I discovered which parts I could deem suitable for use in a Midget racing application, and which parts I could not. Since this engine was never intended to be sold, I was in no hurry to separate the cost of the parts I discarded from the total cost of the parts I purchased. I have also not calculated a dollar amount for the time I spent designing and machining components that are not available for purchase. Therefore, at this time even I do not have an accurate figure on what this engine will cost to duplicate. And I am not the type of person who will give someone a low-ball figure and then keep coming back to a customer for another $500.00 for this and another $500.00 for that. If anyone wants to deal with someone like that, I know one of the people “trolling” this post will be more than happy to oblige you.
