I wouldn't be able to offer any type of "oh shit I blew my engine up" replacement warranty but I'd offer support in the form of advice and experience. I have the room, tools and time to do this on the side but I'd like to make a few dollars on each engine. I could probably find some decent pricing on parts as well (depending on volume).
This could really benefit the group of we had multiple serious people that all wanted equally spec'd cars from the get go without the drawn out staged upgrades. Call it "Zero G Evolution Spec". Real savings would be in an included and pre-tuned fuel management system tuned to the group's agreed upon specifications. Zero G Evo Spec builders could then exchange information and maps if further development was done. Of course this would be a pretty expensive "kit" but it would save lots of time in R+D for those that want something badass SOON and are able to pay 1 (large) bill and know it will all work together.
How much would an engine setup be worth like this to you guys? The price will likely be a bigger number than most people want to see, but will include nearly everything for the swap all pre-assembled and cleaned for a price just above what it would cost you to do it yourself.... but by someone who's done it before.
