Default 347 price? installed

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

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

Adder is a very over confident person.

$1300 is way to much money.

I would charge half of that.
