Just to give you a rough Idea at $60 per hour you are looking in the $2000 t0 $2500 range. You don't say if you have gaskets or not. There is a some combo labor with both jobs but parts switch over will use most of it. I used Mitchell Software to figure it out so It should be close. most shops use Mitchell, Shop Key, or All Data. I have access to all and that is a good average. I have done a few LT1s as GM tech and the shop that wants to drop the Motor is the Smart one. This would be a great time to install the tubular k member.
