Nice 612.
Closest comparison would be vs the new 650.

So what's the approximate cost to build Hitchcock's 40hp RE?

They had a 39.2 rwhp iron barrel 612 kit years ago. I think they still offer it.

It's really just the uce version of it.

When you increase displacement by 22%, one might expect a hefty power increase. It's a significantly  bigger engine.
