I would get the parts you want first..... then see if someone on here might do it on the side in your area.

Most of your cost will be in the parts.

But just remeber you will also need to get your car tuned.

You should look to spend about half that in labor.

Some places will do it lower.

Generally I charge 300 for a cam swap and 700 for heads and cam. That price depends on how much the owner helps me and how busy I am at the time. Id do it for you but Im in the process of moving and got a ton of other stuff going on. If you need it done closer to the end of the year I could help you out otherwise Im sure you could find someone around here to do it.
