Hi man

Any ideas how far you want to go? Did you want to replace all the parts etc with new ones or just chuck a cam etc in a wrecker motor?

how long is a piece of string? they start at about $800 for a re-ring and go up from there. speed and quality cost money, how fast and good can you afford?  tell your builder your budget and he will work to it.
