I don't want it to seem like I'm an ******* but my time is very limited. I don't mind helping somebody out, but to do cam swaps, motor swaps, rear diffs, trannies, tunes, etc. all for little to no money isn't worth it any more.
When I saw the post on the guy that was quoted $1300 for cam/spring swap I couldn't believe it. Most other people are paying $500-$700 which I think is still a little high.
Luckily my truck has been payed off for a while and the garage that I built and sunk $50K into is payed for but the house has 10 yrs to go and I don't have much to retire on. Man I'm 32 and talking about retirement.
