I got a written quote from Shoshop a couple months back when I was looking at a 3L. I think it as $4300 total, including 3L shortblock, accusump oil kit, Clutch kit and the rest in labour. It was over $2000 in labour alone!!!
And that still wouldn't have fixed my 2nd gear trans problem and got a Quaife installed.
Terry's right, you have to pay if you want to play! (I just wish I had the $$$ to go with my "rich" taste

) haha.
