$70k for engines
For my budget of $70k reserves for engines, I am basing this on a hybrid cost, as I have not yet decided on overhaul versus reman. $70k would just (may a little short) buy two remans (no R&R cost), but would certainly give me a comfortable budget for two good overhauls, and a little extra for extra stuff that comes up when changing out an engine (exhaust, baffles, engine mount recondition, etc). Like the last engine overhaul I just did on my Stinson - I almost spent 50% of my overhaul cost on new exhaust, baffles and the like on making the installation perfect.
