Sorry for being misleading, the guy I'm doing this for is prepared to pay,
I'd just like to know what would be considered "the norm" for a street/race engine rebuild.

Loose a friend or gain an enemy? He is only a friend of a friend, and as such he understands I "should" charge him in some form.

He is unlikely to ever do work for me hence his offer to pay.

I, like most, do work for my mates for free, "as you do".

The term "free" means "love" or some form of return for the time spent on their car, be it the fun, or a paintjob as "payment" for a rewiring job etc.
