What would an engine builder charge for an hourly rate (per hour labor cost)?

What would you pay per hour for a person who can find lower cost used parts? I know - how much lower would be a good question that effects how much you pay.

 

Depends on where you live, in California right now a good engine builder is going to be anywhere from $70-120 depending on "how good" they are.

 

usually you can get flat rates for different services, better than hourly

 

NEVER pay by the hour, they will eat lunch and take calls on your dime
