Hello All! I talk with Richard Maskins on this very topic a couple years ago. He told me it take's about, 80,000.00 to do design, develop, manufacture the first block!!! And then figure long term cost to sell quantity's to get your return on investment!!!



Thanks...thats actually pretty close to what I had thought.



I was told in the mid 90's by a guy high in the food chain, that corporate design, testing, Union accepted casting vendor was 1,000,000, before the first one was sold. People may say "sure", but I was there. Every time posts come up over $ for blocks, I revert to that meeting, and think, "yeah, right".
