Since I had the morning free today, I decided to take a drive down to a shop and talk to the individuals working there. I previously contacted them before so they knew i was coming in. First of all, they were very accommodating and acted very professionally
(i wont mention the shop for now)
We started talking about the car itself (and I know its difficult for someone to give a hard estimate without seeing the car itself. I told him the mods that I remember were on the car and the situation of the car (sitting for 8 years etc)
They gave me 3 estimates. based on 3 different scenarios. I guess worse case scenario thing. First estimate they gave me was if the block was still good, 2nd one was with an ls2 block and 3rd is if we did a crate motor.
Now i dont know what the going rate for labor/parts are so I dont know if I'll be over paying or if it seems ok. So if anyone can chime in and let me know.. that would be great
