Willing to Pay$$$

I need someone who can install heads and a cam for me. I have all the parts, just need someone with a garage, tolls and the know-how. I dont have the 1500 that all these places around here want, but i do a good mount to give a local guy. I am also going to help as best i can. I live in westchester NY. Let me know. PM me, i am so frustrated with the situation that i have even thought about selling the car.

Install is easy if you do it yourself. But most shops seem to get $500 for labor, not $1500.

If you feel like driving I have a nice heated 3 car garage with air tools. I could help you out. I have done a few cars in the past and I am building a 94 and a 00 right now.

Dam right If labor was 500.00 Everyone would have heads and cam. 1000-1500 is generous and fair.

Another vote for Tommy (TalonWS6). He's GM trained (and maybe certified), knows his stuff, works hard, has skinny *** arms to get into places most can't (rear passenger header bolts for one), and is a general nice guy.

Hey Tommy, I'm accumalating everything for my head gasket swap, I'll be talking to you in the new year about measurements for p-to-v clearance.
