I am wanting to get my heads ported by LE. I need to have my heads removed, and then reinstalled. The shop quoted me 18 hrs of labor(80 bucks an hour). so it comes out to about 1440 bucks. I think it might be a rip..but I really have no experience. Does this seem realistic?

 

Holy crap!!! I'd do the whole swap for 500 and a case of beer. LOL

 

hell, fly your *** to NJ and ill pay you more + 2 cases of beer

If anyone is in NJ and knows of any shops that can work with lt1's, let me know! I am open to suggestions.

 

If you can get a ticket from Iraq to NJ and tell my commander why im not here anymore i'll do it! When are you trying to do all this?

 

ill tell your commander that he can to shove it. eek, how long are you in iraq?
would like to do it within the next few months. damnit..ive waited a year to get this done!!

 

I'll be back in the states in August....

 

You pay for my plane ticket and I will do it all for free.

 

and plus you can enjoy the warm NJ weather . btw..how much would a plane ticket cost from alaska to NJ?

 

I'll do it for a plane ticket and $200 and free food and beverages.

 

Looks about 696.00 for April 2nd - April 8th.

 

I say we all buy MeanGreen97Z a case of beer when he gets home from Iraq.

 

The 18 hours seems about right.... that is just one hell of a labor rate. Might find someone with a lower rate. (one six pack per hour???)

 

I looked it up and the labor time is right on the nose. Good shops don't gues at labor times. There are manuals writen with industry accepted times for doing a job. Any decent mechanic can ususlly beat these times by 20-30% or more. Although it seems high, $80 an hour is about what the mojority of the dealers are charging around here.

It pays to work on your own vehicle. I wouldn't be able to afford my 5 cars and two motorcycles if I had to pay someone else to work on them.

 

I like this suggestion. LOL

 

6 pack an hour?! You'll be toast from the sauce before you get the heads off! LOL
