just wondering how long it should take to r&r a motor and build up on the one going in
pulling a motor
- Thread starter nik46notch
- Start date
I've been almost 18 months and I still have not finished. LOL
I'm thinking 2 more weeks.
Seriously though, I think one day to pull the motor, one day to do some clean up of the engine bay, change the valve body and change over some stuff from one engine to the other, one day to do the install, one day to install the Whipple, and one day to change pumps etc. If I was going to pay a shop, I have had quotes of $1100 to do the R&R of the engine and up to $1400 to do the Whipple and support mods. This is in Alberta where mechanics make $30-$40 per hour and shop rates are $100+ per hour.
