You would have to be fast or have a lot of help.

Complete engine rebuild with machine shop labor can run 20 plus flat reate hrs.

Reminds me of my old Ford truck dealership days.

When work go slow they always had some older V8 engine short blocks around that paid 5 hrs to put together.
All cleaned up ready to assemble.

Made good fill in work.

Did you hit the right button an your add machine.

40K in 40 years is 1k a year.

1000 a year at 50 weeks in a year = 20 per week.
At 5 days week = 4 engines per day.

Back in the heyday (before engines started to last longer because of computerization, fuel injection etc etc.) We did 8-10 a day. Now days we do 2-3 a day. Obviously with fewer employees. I have 5 guys in the shop now and 2 installers.
