Labor cost for rear main seal,oil pump and oil pan gasket for $800 plus cost of parts does that sound reasonable its for a 89 fox with gt 40 head and aftermarket cams with long tubes and i believe aftermarket k member

Seems reasonable to me.
The pan likely won't come off and the pump and gasket is a real pain.
The trans has to come out, so if it's a manual, may want to consider a clutch since it's a sensible time to do it.

Aftermarket Cam . It only has 1 .

Yeah seems reasonable considering the engine basically has to come out of the car to do it right . You can sneak it in the car with the trans pulled as mentioned . But i like to just pull it at that point . Real reasonable . Get a hardened oil pump shaft while you’re in there.

Rear Main Seal:

Book Calls for 4.6 hours for manual Trans
Oil Pan or Gasket: Book Calls for 1.1 hours Manual
At the point that the Oil Pan is off of the engine the labor is about 1/2 hr to install the pump before re-assemble

I am with 200xp8 here on the clutch. While it is out of the car, it is s good time to throw in a new clutch kit and cable.

That makes sense. If you need a Adjustable Cable Kit that will work for that check out my sig.

Do you do the work yourself? I know most here do but we dont always have the time to do it ourselves.

After watching Brew2L's video on youtube of doing the oil pan gasket without pulling the engine, $800 doesn't sound so bad.

Dude, are you using talk to text? The reason I ask is your words are abbreviated and there is no punctuation.
If you look at the responses they are complete words and use punctuation.
Just say'n.

It will work for a 1988 GT 5 speed - Yes

I did not call the company and make sure it worked for my application. Once I went through all I did, I called the company and they helped me get the right parts.

Doesn't offend me but it makes it a lot harder when I have to study the blob of words to figure out what they really are and where and what punctuation goes where.

It's hard to read and understand and generally just not a good look if you want people to truly take you serious.

It's on my nerves (even more so knowing that you are consciously doing it) so let's hope Mike doesn't see it...
