Blown motor

Re: Blown motor

I said between $300 and $400 for me to do it (labor only), why did you say $800? It's good that you don't need it right away, my shop won't be ready until another week or so. We just bought a bunch of new machines, and they are dissasembled and spread all over the shop...

So do I ;).

I just don't have a lot of overhead. My friend actually owns the shop, and I am a night manager for the production parts, and do stuff for the cars on the side. This means it's all labor and parts that I have to pay for, no rent, and we have only his son and another guy working there (they only do production, no custom).

And of course, you will get a warranty on the labor, but if you are buying a used engine so I can't waranty that. Also I wouldn't mind if you were there giving me a hand, you can learn something while you are there.

It's your car, and your decision, just offering my services to another fbod owner :)

BTW: What's wrong with the old motor, and what are you going to do with it when you get the new one?

How about a quote on a SC or TC for a 2000 Bird? Cheap setup!
