So to be clear his quote was $15k complete with fuel system and all the goodies.. Now if you go adding exotic parts and such that price would change (higher) and if you shopped hard that price could be less. $5k labor is a good price.

Just thought you would want to know that the $20k number was incorrect

Oh, never did get an email from ya.. also, Tim said a RamJet install would be a snap but you might end up with hood clearance issues. (he had a 66 Nova)

Ohhhhhhh...that makes sense. His exact words were "about 15K sunk into the engine"...so he must have meant 15K to complete the project. I took is as 15K for all the parts needed for the engine, then 5K labor. Thanks for the clarification.

I still haven't goeen around to that email...I have a nasty schedule and I get home pretty late (and I stopped at a car show to scope for Novas on the way home). And I can't send emails from work--I can post here for some reason. But I think I'm going to pass on the LS1/LS2 route anyway. For my purposes I think the 350 Ram Jet will be much more cost effective. EFI on a beer budget.
