Mechanic needed in Tampa Bay area for header/cam install. Anyone know of someone reasonable? I will be needing a tuner afterwards as well.

Thank you for the reply and I may take you up on your offer if I can't find anyone local. I only have the one car so getting parts (especially large ones) to/from someplace can be a bit tricky. Can you give me a guess on the cost of the header install? I'm going to wait on the tune until I get some more mods (heads/cam) installed. Do you do that as well? If so, how much?

Another option. People from all over the country send their Vettes to Norris...in the Orlando area. Worth the extra trouble to haul the parts over there to Mike Norris (or the guy in Ft Myers above) to make sure the job is done right.
