Anyone have a good idea of what would be an acceptable price to have a shop do this for me? Im going to provide all of the components from Speed Engineering's package and this will probably be going behind a 402. Im going to have the shop do the motor swap at the same time as well.
I appreciate it guys

 

I would not do it for less than 1200 in labor. including the motor swap.

 

Man I would be ALL OVER THAT!! I was thinking quite a bit higher. I would be ecstatic to get it done for $1500-$1700 out the door (for motor and trans). I guess I need to get a parts list and let him get under there to see what he thinks. Since its a sponser maybe they'll give me a little break

 

Who's gonna do the work for you?

 

Most likely Rev Extreme as they are right down the street from my office and I can check in every day to see what progress has been made.
Thats going to be dependant on what they are going to charge. Im not going to pay 3K for the work. I may see what kind of deal they will do if I buy my motor from them as well.
Otherwise I may have to make a drive to take it to another reputable shop.

 

dang man, i remember when you first got on this site with a tahoe and a s/c.... now look at YA!!!!

 

ya, Im reminded of that pretty frequently. I swear, a T trim, 402, built 4L80, and some nitrous will be all.... really.... except for a bigger cam, converter, and maybe some head work
Im hoping to have this up and running in the next couple of months

 

off topic i know but you get the wedding all done? i know that was eating up a bunch of you time. Why not just do the swap your self?

 

No, Im still waiting on my auto darkening helmet . Ive also been procrastinating on picking up a cylinder of gas as the place where I was going to get the SS flux cored wire blew me off . The motor and tranny swap is just a little too much for me. My buddy that usually helps me with this stuff lives about an hour away now and we have conflicting schedules now. Im also realizing I have a shortage of necessary tools.
Im still trying to figure out how Im going to cut this frame without a plasma cutter.
I just want this to get somewhat done and enjoy it for a bit. Im going for a very low 12 maybe even a high 11, so I think Im going to leave it to people that really know what they are doing. Im hoping to be very near 700 rwhp without nitrous!
