What could I expect a shop to charge me for laborif I brought my car to them with all the parts needed including the stroker kit, gaskets, heads, cam, and intake? i want to drive the car up, hand the keys away and come back when its done and drive away.

i have absolutely no idea what i would be doing. This is my only car and i can not have it down for longer than the bare minimum amount of time. I only know one person that i trust that could do this for me, but they are too busy with work and other stuff to do. This is my only other option

Probably as much as your parts cost you to buy...wouldn't be suprised

i would say it would be cheaper to buy a long block from fordstrokers.com and take it to someone for the engine swap. it would be less down time for your car. and you might be able to get a little back from selling your stock engine if it is in good shape. post pics of your car

Thats close to what I just spent... $780 in labor for $1600 in parts... That was for a piston replace and head swap.

If you had a shortblock and all the parts to complete the motor swap. It would take me about 2 days, start to finish, and you would be paying me about $1300

What he said ^^^^

$4000 long block from Forstrokers
$1000 in misc. parts
$1000-2000 for swap depending

Adder is a very over confident person.

$1300 is way to much money.

I would charge half of that.
