John,
About the engine, Playboy will probably opt to go with the Williams International FJ-44, which powers the smallest Cessna Citation Business Jet. The engine would be around $400,000. A professionally rebuilt GE J-85 would only cost around $85,000 (as used in the smallest Lear Jet, T-38, and ViperJet out of Pasco, Wa.
