holy horrible grammer... from both of you... get receipts. if it is a legit rebuild then thats a really good price. the intake leaking is really common and would not cause the rebuild/motor to be bad, you would just need to fix it.
I agree with suicidal, take it to a shop to get looked at.

the optispark is a common problem with the LT1's. with that being said i have yet to have a problem with mine *knock on wood*
make sure u get the car checked out first by a GOOD shop. and make sure u get reciepts for his so called "rebuild" before u put any money down
