Called my local performance shop (the only one in the area) and they quoted me $660/hr for a engine rebuild. I'm looking to go with forged internals and put some serious giggle juice to it, but $660/hr for labor in addition to the parts seems a bit steep. For that kind of money, I'll buy a crate from Sean Hyland. Does this seem a bit high for 'performance' labor?
Thanks

I'd tell them to blow it out their ass.

Are you sure it wasn't SIXTY dollars an hour?

I was on a cell phone standing on a balcony so maybe I did misunderstand him. But he also quoted well over $2K for a crank which I know is too high. His total for the build was just over $6k for the whole shootin' match, so maybe $660/hr isn't right.

Misprint! It has to be a misunderstanding otherwise they are going out of buissness soon.

If it is 660 an hour then im glad you are smarter than some people out there with more money than common sense.

6k for the whole shooting match? With labor ONLY, that's 9 hrs. I imagine it would take at least 9 hrs to rebuild the engine, let alone parts. I'm sure you heard him wrong.

Maybe $660/ day or something. That is certainly ludicrous speed.

Come on, get real. It's obviously $60 or $66 per hour. I'll sell you my car for $250,000.
