Jenny,


I rebuilt my 87 back in 1999.  The rebuilt engine, from AVP, was $2043.
That included shipping and new heads.  The labor for the install was about
$1000, and another $500 in hoses, belts, etc (syncro).


I think the total was roughly $3500.  Thats in San Francisco, where labor is
high ($75/hr at the time).


Jeff

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how much it is going to cost me to install a new
engine in my '87 Westy.  could people that had this done let me know how
much your various mechanics charged you?  I haven't decided who/which engine
I am going to go with yet, still trying to get my head around the various
senarios to consider.
Thanks in advance,
Jenny
