Example:
Someone is selling a Continental O-470-4 near TBO but apparently still running when it was removed.
The engine is being sold an a really low price.. think a few car payments worth.
I did a quick search on parts for the engine and seems that it could be rebuilt for maybe half or even less of what a recently overhauled similar engine sells for.
I dont even know how much labor itself would be(lets assume I have ALL the components and it "just" needs to be put together) . Still, I believe after everything, I could flip the engine for a profit.
Could it really be that "simple"?
