Looking for Mechanic to Rebuild 273 in SoCal

Join Inland Mopar club and see if they have connections.

the remove and install labor is really going to hurt that budget. I could see 16 hours estimate on remove and install. Chances are there will be a broken bolt, wires broken, or other things not part of the rebuild happen when motor gets swapped. Not a slam dunk with an older car.

shops are $75+ per hour. Someone at home is half that. Just adds up.
