Bought an lt1.

[DRIVEN]

A month? Must be a busy machine shop.

You know there are two different lt1 right

 

[DRIVEN]

Three if you count the gen1 LT-1.

Yea didn't think about that but I was referring to the 4.3 and the 5.7 just incase you start ordering parts before you check

Yeah they actually said that they're not that backed up. Supposed to be the best in town.

And yeah it's a 5.7 with aluminum heads out of a 96 firebird. My friend bought an elco with the 4.3 but thought it was a 5.7. Said the car was pretty quick, then he parted it out. Trying to get the x pipe from him.

Well got a call from the machine shop today, he asked if I wanted him to put in new cam bearing and freeze plugs. He said $95 for the plugs, bearings,and installation.

So that takes my tally to $500 for crank polish, valve job with viton seals(?), hone, and hot tank. Does that sound like a decent price?

If you don't think that is a good price, bring it to DMV (DC, MD, VA area) and see if you leave with your gas money.

Lol never said it was bad. Just wondering.

I just had to say something crazy. That seems to be a good price compared to here.

That does seem like a decent price for machine work.
