I feel like I should leave this thread alone, but I can tell you there is no way anyone will be happy with the job your asking to be done at 500 hours.
The actual scoop of labor your inquiring about is vastly undersold with the punch list you have.
Example 24 hours to install an LS7 with t56 is an absolute joke. Not possible.
I don't want you to get tricked or fooled into thinking this is easier then some people in this thread are trying to under sell it. Greg is pretty close to right on his 100k comment.
I would encourage you to take your punch list and truly break it down to all the steps you know about. It doesnt matter if you know what your doing. Take your best guess. Just that first step is really 2 pages long. if you break it down. Make a step by step list of the entire job and you will start to grasp what is really going on. Don't worry about custom options, AN hoses, mil spec connectors, relocated coils, super bad ass air intake.
Actual disassembly of car
Assembly of engine in sub
All plumbing
Radiator
dry sump - include mounting dry sump tank and breather
fuel system
air intake
engine breather system
power steering hoses
AC hose plumbing
routing engine wiring
fabrication for trans tunnel
install engine drive system
......
I don't have the time to go on and on. Just that first step could be a few weeks. Easy.
