Need urgent help with parts and best prices!

[Cesarlcase]

Ok I just spoke with a mechanic yesterday and he gave me a estimate between 15-2000 dollars not including parts for the following setup installation:

HKS metal headgasket install
Water pump and hks timing belt
Turbo swap from garrett t3/t4 to precision/tapping new feed line from top of motor instead of oil filter housing
272/272 cams and gears
Fuel injector 1050s with regulator and pump.

Is this a reasonable price for this build?
If possible, can any of you guide me in the direction of where to buy these parts for a reasonable price? He says he can beat any price I get, so any help would be great as I want to get the car in the shop asap! Thanks guys.

Reasonable, price depends on what you think is fair look around for prices on vendors and call them for prices. Thats a bit just to build it way too much without parts, depends on whats all being done ask hiim more questions, i would shop around for parts.

Wow. Thats a rip off. Do the work yourself. Its rather simple to do those things. Take your car somewhere else or open your butthole wider for that mechanic. Wow im in shock.

Sounds like about $500 in labor at my shop.

Well I live in N.Y so its more expensive than say Oregon for example. I just want the work done and call it a day,don't want to have the car down for long.

Give Street Tuned Motorsports a call and see how much they would charge they are located in New York.

One thing no one has asked.. are any of the parts included in that bill or are you buying them all up front? if that's labor only it's a little high... I don''t see it as a 500 dollar job (at least anyone that has to make a living on their hourly fee) but i think it should be no more than 8-900 at most

In my initial post I stated no parts included. Its quite expensive out here. I had one shop say they could build me a 400 hp car for 8k no joke. I know for shop prices I have to keep shopping around, so I'm guessing around 900-1300 would be reasonable? Also, my biggest concern is getting parts for good prices and websites you guys could recommend with good deals. I want to get this done asap,

I would call everyone shops at different places for different things, find a vendor call them up and tell them what you need, thats how i shop, and see if parts are in stock some arent get to shopping.

Seems high to me but I wouldn't expect it to be as low as 500 either. That seems like a waste of a shops time if they only charged 500. I would guess 1000 sounds like a decent rough estimate though.
