Total installed (parts/labor) from modern muscle is $9600 The tune is included in that price. Gladius had asked what labor costs were and that is why I broke it down. They give a very detailed Quote/estimate listing all parts/costs, labor, fluids, tune, engine assembly, motor install, tune ect. So I know exactly what I am paying for what. I like the way they give a detailed brake down because I was considering just buying a shortblock and doing all the install work myself, as I have experience and have done all the work on my car myself.
Not included in that price is the 6.1 intake/gaskets/TB/porting/fuel rails/lines, which I sourced from elsewhere myself. (all of which there is no additional charge for install)
Hope this explains the pricing a little better. |

I totally understood what you were saying. I was just speaking my mind, maybe because I bitch and complain anytime I buy something for my car trying to get a better deal. For instance I would have told MM do the car for 9k or I'm going somewhere else. Thats just me though, and I'm sure you already got a kick ass deal.

| Thats exactly what I did. I've been looking at various options and companies since last year, after I did my getrag LSD, as the next step. Got some of the odds and ends at no charge, double roller manley timing set at cost of a stock set $90, new oil 6.1 oil pump nc, plus Im getting the torq converter which was added on after the fact installed along with a trans flush/filter installed for free. The convertor they matched the best price I could find on the net @ $449. Litttle things to keep my ccosts as low as possible. This left me enough cash to do upgrade such as the 6.1 intake ect. |
