You need to go to the local board and find someone around your area that is willing to help you out of their garage. You can learn more about your car, and make an ls1 friend. If you are going to have a shop do it, do alot more research because 500$ is just outrageous.

If you pay that...you should just go ahead, sell your car, and buy something else.
Id put the extra effort in and find a local guy that will do it. Just ask ask and ASK around
