I am about to start getting ready to have some things installed on the goat and was wondering if someone could help me out with what you think it is going to run me. I currently have a set of 243 heads (dual springs and ls6 valves to go with it) and ls7 clutch/flywheel. I am going to buy a cam, intake, and throttle body. Not sure if I am going to buy them separately or from the installer (right now leaning to wards east coast supercharging). I am also going to have the heads, intake, and TB ported. So with all that plus installation can someone give me an idea of how much I am looking at? Also am I missing anything else that needs to be installed with all this? I'm not the most mechanical person so I have just been going off of what I have read (mostly here and ls1gto) so any info helps, thanks.

idk... i did my heads/cam/intake install on my own and it cost me $1500-$2000 in parts.

In reality most shops your looking at least $1000 to install heads cam
~$500 to install clutch
~$3-500 for tune.
So figure you are worst case scenario $1800 in just the install.
No idea what someone charges to work heads?


There are so many parts involved in a head cam swap that you can forget about that add up quick!!
Example of my list: New injectors, Head Gaskets,Arp Head Bolts, Oil, Antifreeze, LS2 Timing Chain,Melling Oil Pump, Pushrods, Crane Lifters, LS2 trays, New Plugs, Fuel Filter,UDP and new belts,... .


I prob have ~$2000 before install.

Im going to be the one to say it I guess. Just call the shop and ask.

I'm going to ask the shop, I just wanted to see if I could find a ballpark price to see if they are overcharging or not.
