LT1 Tune Up
 

How much might a shop charge to change plugs in an LT1? I just got a '97 Formula and not used to working on engines that a mouse couldn't squeeze through the engine bay LOL.

Labor time is 2.7 hours, so most shops would get about 150-200 bucks. THis is the labor for plugs ONLY. Labor for wires and parts would be additional.

Just get the right tool's and do it yourself :)

funny, I am in the need for plugs and wires and the lowest i've been quoted is $450 labor...and that is at the dealership!

NEVER take your car to the dealership :)

agreed... dealerships are always looking for an ass to rape.

Labor at a dealership is murder, but so is changing the plugs on an LT1. :eek2: Personally I'll take the shredded hands instead of a bill from the dealership.

where are you located? if close to lexington kentucky, ill do it for $40, your help and bud light furnished by you....and in less than 2 hours.....but yes i will have shredded hand when im done :bang:

Yup book gives 2.5-2.7 and We charge four for a reason ;)

I'm in MD< but will be going through KY at the end of the month, ;) but would like to get it done before then. Who knows the last time they were changed.

The 2.7 is labor for JUST PLUGS. In order to do the wires, they are probably charging a minimum of 1-1.5 hrs more.........remember theres a lot of routing to do on an LT1.
