Engine or Tranny Swap in 24 Hours in Dallas

[texasz]

There was someone in Dallas advertising that he would swap an engine or tranny in 24 hours on a Z car in this forum but I can no longer locate this thread. Can anyone tell me where it is or provide his contact information please?

I just send him an email and will post my findings.

I have not heard back from this guy. I've sent at least two emails to him now. I guess my next step will be to call him this week.

you could do it yourself in about 10 hours or less depending on your skill level

That's of course the problem. I do not have the skills nor the tools to do this kind of thing...yet. I'm hoping to learn.

Ok, so I got the quote some time ago and I'm just now getting to posting the info; sorry.

Here's what I asked for:

Quote1 - I bring you a running engine you swap

Quote2 - I bring you a working tranny you swap

Quote3 - I bring you a running engine and working tranny you swap both at same time

Quote4 - you find a running engine and swap

Quote5 - you find a working tranny and swap

Quote6 - you find a running engine and working tranny and swap both at same time

Quote7 - you find non-running engine and rebuild then swap

Quote8 - you find non-working tranny and rebuild then swap

Quote9 - you find non-running engine and non-working tranny and rebuild both and swap at same time.

Here are the specs for what I want:

ENGINE: an '81-'83 L28 non-turbo motor (this will have flat top pistons) which will be an F54 block and should have originally had a P79 head

HEAD: an '81-'82 P90 head from a non-turbo

TRANNY: a '77-'79 5-speed from a non-turbo

Here's the quotes I got:

Quote 1: You bring me a running engine and I install it. Labor Cost $ 495

Quote 2: You bring me a working tranny and I install it. Labor Cost $325

Quote 3: $627

Quote 4: Same labor rate as Quote 1 plus price of engine (est. $450)

Quote 5: Same labor rate as Quote 2 plus price of tranny (est. $250)

Quote 6: $1327

Quote 7: Rebuilt engine $1500, R&R engine $495

Quote 8: We are unable to rebuld transmissions. We only R&R with good used one.

Quote 9: Please see quote 7 & 8
