Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Considering a new L77 create engine is $9200 dollars, + $1000? to fit, an $8500 quote at the upper end seems excessive (= rip off)...Oh wow yeh I was quoted from $3500-$8500 which shook me
Contemplated getting a whole other motor as it would be cheaper.
under $5 k isn’t that bad.
He quoted lifters at $3500 and cam at $4500 so yeh that’s what I was thinking!Considering a new L77 create engine is $9200 dollars, + $1000? to fit, an $8500 quote at the upper end seems excessive (= rip off)...

Probably thought he could rip you off coz your a chickHe quoted lifters at $3500 and cam at $4500 so yeh that’s what I was thinking!
Hahahaaa yeh your prob right there. It’s just hard being in a smaller town with not many places willing to do it. I mean I still wasn’t 100% on him telling me it was the lifters with the sound it was making. But least I know he was right there.Probably thought he could rip you off coz your a chick

Even still 3.5k to replace the lifters is rather steepSure he didn't mean 3.5 k for lifters and 4.5k including camshaft?
Nope cause I said can I just get lifters quote n he said it’s $3500 then the cam would harden and another $4500 for cam. Well I’m pretty sure.Sure he didn't mean 3.5 k for lifters and 4.5k including camshaft?
Well so would I tbh n it would wanna be goodAgree ^^^, at 3.5k for lifters I would expect a head job to be included as well.
