Cost of engine part installs?
Was wondering how much do shops usually charge for installing forged bottom(crack/rod/pistons)?
How much do they usually charge for install of LT Headers?
lastly about how much for a suspension kit like the FRPP ones?
All installs separate
Thanks

Alright this is what i was quoted for labor:
forged bottom(crank/rod/piston)- ~$800-1000
LT headers-~$600
Suspension -~$ a few hundred
that's adds a pretty penny to some of these items.

I assume upgrading internals is quite involved and time consuming, and the tech really needs to know what he's doing, so the pricing doesn't seem unreasonable, but I'm surprised at how expensive the LT install is by comparison. Do they really take that long to install?

The LT take that long because of how I guess(This is what I was explained)
how it is under the car they have to move something out of the way(tranny or engine) and really take their time with placement.
but **** LT headers cost almost the same when its done then getting forged pistons/rods o.o
With the crank/pistons/rod the guys said it isn't complicated but you do have to take the whole engine out of the car which does take time.
