    Default Engine + Gearbox rebuild in western sydney

    hey guys,

    does anyone know of a good place in western sydney to take my VS S pack for an engine rebuild and gearbox rebuild. both are getting pretty dodgy so want them nice and new and running perfect before i start working on the car.

    also can anyone give me some ball park figures on what its going to cost for each?

    Thanks in advance

    I hears recently that a full standard rebuild of auto is $1350 TRADE PRICE !!. retail probably close to $2000. ouch. and if you can afford it its a good to time to get a shift kit installed if you plan on doing engine work.

    A rebuilt auto, you may as well get a done up one, will be somewhere in the $2k figure.

    Not to sure on the engine, but a fully rebuilt stroker long block from COME is about $4k, so thats a ballparkish figure. But you will need to factor in quite a few other things, but they are specific to how far you want to go.

    LOL I wish that a C.O.M.E Stroker 4.2L cost $4000, try $10000. I sent them a mail and thats what they told me.

    I was going by their price list on their website, I thought it was a little cheap, It's probably out dated.
