Add to that the cost - to do the job in sufficient detail to have a chance at winning is probably about $50,000 (I have heard of figs as high as $75,000). I am a one man business. In my shop I do everything including scrubbing the floor.If I am working on an engine that would have only minimal to do with my business then I would most likely starve before it was all over.

The cost of the motor itself probably won't amount to more than about $15,000 but The R&D costs will be substantial if an entry is made for a serious challenge of winning.
When I am working on the entry for this I am not earning a cent from clients.
