Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
  1) The first thing you should take into consideration is the warranty of the work performed on your L-block motor. Does the warranty start after the machine shop says to come pick it up or does it begin after you start it up for the first time? Also, how long does the warranty last? Most machine shops are good about giving you some leeway on this question but it’s still an important one to have clarified before you start any engine work.
• Oil Change
  And or 500-Miles due to the lack of a full flow oil filter set up. Do not allow the engine oil to get dirty, the oil filter only filters 10% of the engine oil !!!! ALWAYS INSTALL A NEW OIL FILTER AT THE TIME OF OIL CHANGE !

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Transmission Repair
  If you compute the shop rate with an average of 6 hours a day 5 days a week for 1 man over 4 weeks, it would be $15,000 for just the bodywork. However, if you can accept a reproduction body kit, then you save quite a bit. You can add from there with the engine rebuild, transmission work, electrical etc. In other words, a standard WW2 Jeep fully restored with all of the warranties, delivered with a title, should run in the neighborhood of $40,000 or more.
