For my sister
Cadillac catera with the V6! I rebuilt one about 2 years ago at work. Was probably the worst engine rebuild I've ever done, and we charged the customer a pretty good amount. Definantly won't do another one. I guess the answer to your questions is all going to depend on where you take it. I work for a GM dealer and if memory serves me correctly it was close to or a little more than 5k. The parts aren't necessarily the expensive part, labors is where they will get you because those ******* are a pain to work on. I'd rather drop the motor in a camaro, corvette, or mustang any day! I think it paid me somewhere around 25-30 hrs labor at $95.00 per hour (what they charged cause I only got $23 per hour of it, lol) plus the parts and gaskets. Good luck. Your sister might be better off getting rid of it.
