thats not all out

pacesetter lt's are not 550 more around 365

cam around 285
$500 might get you a minor port job using your heads and tuning
is around 250 from pcm4less

heads and cam install will probably run you around 1000

Well Id say its not gonna be cheap at all to have the heads and cam installed will probably run more then you payed for the work done to the heads. I would really do a read up H/C installs are not hat hard if you know your way around a car.

your gears are more around 190 as well, but alot of that you can do yourself, you just need to spend/have the time to do it

well i have a buddy who's dad is a mechanic...so my buddy can disassemble and partly install the gears but his dad will have to spend about 2 hours or so finishing up.

As for heads ive heard that its about the same price to fix them up as it is to just buy new ones...?

that is only a minor chunk of the change there is so much stuff you will end up replacing..i can promise you making a list aint the way to go cause it always gets overlooked when other stuff you never would think about comes up...i planned on spending 2000 on my engine rebuild and have over 4100 in it now
