What is typical labor cost for C5 motor R&R
 

Just wondering what is typical labor cost involving removing and replacing an LSx motor in a C5?
thanks

Expensive. Whole drivetrain has to be dropped to pull the engine.

Ask Connecticut - he recently did one.

You can do it youself and save a lot of money.

A shop will probably be around $2,500.

motor swaps? send pm for info

You better grab Connecticut's offer before he finds out what everybody else charges and starts calling it a typo. :lol:

I'll run that pricing through July, for motors ck out www.forcefedhighperformance.com

Just to clear up any confusion, FFHP is a shop in Kentucky, this link was used as an example of LS1/LS6 long/short block pricing

Looks like he retracted the price pretty quick :D Although I'm sure he will do as promised :cheers:

the pricing is there as posted, I've swapped 2 F16 block42 motors in one shift(w/ a crew of 5), the C5 motor swap isn't that time consuming, although I do miss the trim pad runs on the 16's

$1,000 - $1,500 to R&R the motor.

Does that include shipping my car from SoCal to you? :lol: :jester

I wish you were closer......:cheers:

your in SoCal, A&A Corvettes must be close by

Those are some great prices Ct.. :thumbs: You are almost worth the trip out east. :) Do you build the engines at your shop?

not yet

Yep. Andy did my 4.10's and a few other things.....and I'm heading up there this weekend for the BBQ. But he ain't gonna swap a motor for the prices you're throwing out there! :lol:

In all seriousness though.....I'll be hitting Andy up for a forged motor install in the next 6 months to a year. :D

:cheers:

I am about to venture down this road.

One shop I called said 3200 ...yeah - Don't think so - Second shop said 1000.00 guess who I'm going with.

Holy old thread batman.

We are a corvette specialty shop.
We have two in house forged motor builds (engine R&R) in the shop at the moment. A 383 C5Z and a 440 C6Z. PM us if you looking for any work in the socal area. Our prices are far less than A&A.

My builder just charged me 2,000 for r&r my lq9
