try www.fbodymotorsports.com, they have most of their prices for installs online so you could probably find it on the website, if not then call thier number, they might have an 800 #.

its near melbourne alot of people know where that is at...so if u talk to someone they should know....its on the east coast

wow.. chevy_chic.. havent seen you on here in quite awhile.

[philly rs]

ok heres the deal....the parts should run u around 100 bucks, and going rate is 6hrs labor and lets say 100 bucks an hr(thats what a dealer would charge 4 this job) so give a little less maybe. my boy said 700 would be great 800 would be the limit depending on what kind of gaskets they use. hes an ex chevy tech that worked at a dealership and said thats what the going price was. if u are like me and try to either find someone else because the dealer is usually high as hell or do it yourself,which not taking away from u im guessing u dont wanna go that rout, but if u do then thats great. too bad your not near tampa the club i belong to is a f-body shop and thats all they do all day camaro's and TA's he said he could do it for half the price. he said u were like 2 hrs or so away south and i didnt think u would drive here 4 that. so i hope that helps out a bit if u need help finding a place in your area if u cant find one yourself i could look something up and see if i can help u out a bit more. also just so u can be sure not to get the run around if u do find a place and u would like 4 me to call and talk to them and get a quote 4 u just give me the name and number of the shop and ill talk to them because i know some places try an bullshit women. hope i helped out.

[chevy_chic20041]

yeah thats a little more than what i hoped for...2 hours isn't too bad...hey marcus i know i haven't been on in awhile srry hun but i'm back now...philly thanks so much for helping with this...i don't know if this will be done soon cause of the price

Why does it need lifters chevy chic?Is it making noise or somthing?I ask because usually a professional will not change lifers without buying a cam and lifter set.If its just noise you can adjust a ticking noise out of the motor.

yeah its making a horrible tapping noise....what would have to be done to fix it without replacing them?

[hotrod_chevyz]

well for starters you can possibly adjust the rocker arms to remove the play.Is it a single tapping noise or a bunch of tapping noises coming from the same place.?

What oil have you been using?how many miles is on it?

You might have a pushrod bent or a single rocker arm not getting oil .Before you spend all that money you should have the valve covers taken off and the rockers and pushrods inspected.

it sounds like a single tapping...i've been using 10w40, and it has about 128,000 miles on it...it started a few onths ago then it just got louder quick and now its just loud
