I'd guesstimate total building time at around 3,000hrs.

Ranger L-440 engines (6cylinder 200hp) converted to run upright seem to be a popular powerplant for Fokker and Albatros replicas, but they develop power at higher RPM than the original engines, so they swing a smaller prop. Dave Watts is going with a geared down Gypsy Queen 260hp 6 cylinder and plans to swing a prop close to original size, IIRC.
