I personally would not pay someone to do it. But there might be some people who might...

i don't know manny people who will pay that much, and shipping them would be a pain because they might break.i think some company's sell they already built.

the prices i posted above is what i pay when i buy them BEFORE i assemble them.. when i build them sure i am gonna ask more than that.. well i listed one of my engine kits on e-bay and see if it is gonna sell, if it sells, i will get some more and build and sell..

you can already buy them assembled for not to much more than unassembled from the factory
