The number provided will get you the receptionist. She will have to give you the new number as most of the compabny moved to a new building. Not sure of the new number.

I'm guessing that since this is a GT, they may be able to do it for about $5k. Mine was more, but I had a lot of head/valve train work and its a a Cobra. Depends on what all you want done. The r&r is about $1200 I think then add parts and labor.

Since the labor cost is similar, why not drop a'98 Cobra mill in it?
