Note that I will not perform porting on any plates and then ship them out, porting is only available for engines being built here. Porting is a break-even proposition most of the time, the engine itself is the only profit.

Yeah, I do my own porting. I experimented letting a couple of machinists try porting for me, but none of it suited me.
I'm just saying I dont want to fool with "out the door" porting, like some of the bigger shops who have dedicated port people. To port out a motor will take a good 6 hours plus bits, so yes, my $200-300 prices are pretty much break-even. The only real money I make is in the rebuild itself.

As I told you, I will probably begin work on it tomorrow. I dont work saturday nights or sundays...at least, not rx7 work. Worked all day yesterday on the yard, and all day today cleaning carpet and floors inside.
