How long will it take you? I have a couple guys around here that charge $30/hour for side work,but it is up to you on what you want to charge.

IMO if I diddnt know the guy I wouldnt do it at all. Its one thing to work on your best freinds car, but a guy you hardly know theres to much room for something to go wrong. If your dead set on helping this guy id make damn sure he knew if something goes wrong not to point the finger at you. But maybe im just paranoid.

Putting longtubes on an LT1 car is an absolute bitch. I'd charge at least $250 to do it for a guy I didn't know well.
