You can lose money on a job like that I would double it up for all the aggravation involved. Its always gonna be something that will eat you lunch on old equipment there is a rattle snake in it are two that will bite ya...
I just did a engine swap (short block) in a 73 ford f100. I sent a set of Donner heads out to be rebuilt I speck I ended up with a day are more in cleaning all the gunk off the parts. I never could get the clutch cover as clean as I wanted it I talked him into a new clutch a new clutch gets a flywheel it snowballs. All the clutch linkage was worn out repaired it while the engine was out. The rag joint on the steering shaft is shot replaced it. Spent quite a bit of time putting new exhaust studs in the manifolds.
The rear seal leaked had to drop the pan and replace it lucky for me I caught it before I installed the engine. Its a labor of love all said and done you rub and shine on all the old parts if they don't work out you touch it you own it that's why you mark it up so HIGH...
Sometimes folks will say why is it going to be so HIGH I tell'em so when you come to pick it up I want you to bring enoufh money, you may get lucky and have a little to tote back home...
If I evaluate it and know they will not be happy I pass if they let me take care of what is needed all around most everyone is happy happy even if they throw stupid money at it.
I tell them to pull your pocketbook out it needs to be blessed... It may not make them feel better but it does me...
