Default Install work $$

I made some changes guys.

What do you guys think this will all cost to install? I have the parts but need to have them installed I will be in Miami Fl.

Any Ideas guys?

Engine:

FAST Intake Manifold and throttle body (wiring adaptor & coolant bypass)
V belt (Serpentine belt)



Drivetrain:

RAM Flywheel
Throw Out Bearing
Pilot Bearing
Centerforce Clutch and Pressure Plate

2 Front tires (no weights on the outside lip of rim)

Alright I removed some of the easy things that I can do once I am at my new Duty Station so here are the things that I just dont know how to do. basically it breaks down to a full clutch assembly replacement and a intake TB (I can attach the TB myself and do the coolant bypass.) I dont want tospend more that a grand on this.

$1500 for the clutch $400 for the other suspension and about $350 for the engine stuff.

The due to the intake and TB change you need a tune for another $400-$500.

So my guess is $2500 - $3000
