Default Head Installation

I will be needing someone to install some LS6 heads for me on my trans am in a week or so, i was just wondering what the going rate is? I am still waiting to hear back from Icon and im going to contact G-Force, MTI, and Conleys as well just in case Mike is backed up. Also, I know a couple of people who are knowledgable enough to do the head installation on their own. Do you think its worth spending the extra money to have a shop do the work considering these heads are basically stock replacements? Is anyone interested in doing the work? Let me know, and i would appreciate anyones input.

Thanks,

JOE

I know of a shop in DFW that does it for $500. Not a sponsor though.
