I dropped my s/b off today for cam bearings. Does $500 seem high to y'all? I was thinking 2-300
Had the rotating assy. still in in it, but still... All I asked for was cam bearings. Seems a bit high. Im going to call another place on monday and see what they say. I dont wanna pay that kind of money for cam bearings. I know its a PITA to put in, but still.Was the block bare, or did he have to rear it down? Old school guy here in town did my block: bored and honed, decked, new freeze plugs and cam bearings; all for $300.
Now, he is a special case. Been in business for as long as I have been alive. His outlook was this: all my equipment and shop is paid for, what am I charging for? He came highly recommended as well.
But yes, that seems like a lot, especially if it was a bare block. If he is tearing down and rebuilding, then maybe not so much.

Short thank to the helicopter ride, haha. Got home the 26th of June, home for a few days, vacation in the Dominican Republic for a week and now on to this:So how was your swim from your offshore oasis
Aside from cutting out the tubs and such, I can do it all today I think. The fiance is out of town so I can work well into the night. But the labor doesnt bother me. It's a body style Id much rather have so I cant really put a value on it.How nuch to swap it all over? Anymore then a few nights labor its not worth it
I agree. This car changes things, and it needs a whole lotta help inside as much as out. I think I'm going to do like Scott (raceoholic) and build it all then strip it down and make it pretty. The 87 was too much of a s hit box, even for me.Oh man, 4-eye coupe with an LS...
It's almost a shame to build something ratty at this point. That coupe would look reeeeal nice with a good coat of paint on it.
Also - NIKwoaC - I was talking with a buddy about paint colors tonight and I saw something odd on google. It seems that 98% of the 4 eye cars that come up in images are hatches. Are 4 eye coupes really that rare?
And we decided on calypso, but reef blue is a close second.
