went to bier brothers today to get a quote on the transmission installation ($250) and cam installation. 400 for a cam (installation only) sound right? didn't sound right to me but of course i'm not a mechanic, and the #### cam only costs 150 so of course i'm going to be the least bit shocked. i even questioned "that's for labor? because i already have the cam" he said it takes about four hours but may take a little less.
they normally work on v8s, and i don't know if he quoted me for an OHV or OHC type of installation....or if it even makes a difference. but man... also he said he had a 97 making 395 at the wheels with an s15 transmission when he lived in illinois and spent nearly 53,000 in parts and labor (with the help from the shop he worked at). if that's true, then that's pretty #### cool, but he doesn't have it any more.... of course <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
