Don't get me wrong I know out west is more expensive place then here in central Illinois but the prices on motor work it's about double what it is here.for what some people are charging for port work and fixing the squish I can throw another 300 bucks in and buy another running Zilla or a running 250 for 600.for me it's a big price difference.I know that on here you are paying for the knowledge of the lt motors when you get work done.
