If you are lookin for someone to trailer it for you and do the work for less than the $600 I quoted you I dont think you will find anyone except maybe T top 50...Aaron.

Good luck.

You just need a new cam and the oil pan cleaned out. $600 is a good deal if you dont want to do the work yourself. It's a lot of labor.
