Default Price for rear end swap in ct or ma?
Just wondering what shops should charge me to swap my 10bolt out for a 9" or s60? Its for my 01 Camaro. I am talking about just for labor costs. Thanks

I would estimate 5 hours in labor or so max so maybe $500 in labor depending on what the shop charges per hour. I swapped my s60 in an afternoon on my back, so with a lift and the right tools, it shouldn't take long.

Depends on how complete the rear is. A lot of them need bearings pressed ect which obviously takes more time. Then if there is floor clearancing ect.
We charge $90/hr.

I want a 9" from Midwest chassis which comes complete I believe. It comes with the new torque arm setup and driveshaft. As far as I know that's all the suspension being changed. Sorry IDK anymore info than this. Thank You
