I actually know it would be quite a bitch for one to do it themselves but how much do you think a shop would charge?

Well right now it would not be that much of a hassle because the motor is out of the car waiting for the transmission to get back from being built. So I could easily swap out the pistons if the buyer wants and provides the new pistons. I have no clue as to how much a shop would charge to swap pistons, but most shops flat hourly rate is 70 to 80 dollars and to take the motor out of the car and get to the pistons is at least a 8 to 10 hour job, so it would be a lot of money.

I am not trying to rag your FS thread as I really hate it when people do that. My question to you is though, if the motor is out of the car, and the transmission (even if its just because it's waiting to be built) why is it up for sale? Did you just get too big of a bill at the machine shop after building the motor and you need the cash to sell the car? Or just looking to go a different direction?
