No No No, I just did my 1500 and spent about $1100 in parts, including a new
cam and all new 9:1 oversize pistons. And the machine work. I did all the
labor in assembly. (didn't do the clutch 'cuz I had just done it in November
of last year) Now I wish I had - the throw out bearing is going on me :-(.
Anyway $3300 is way too much esp w/o macine work. Wish I could recommend a
place in SC.
