Ouch...bad luck. I hope your brother gives ya a spare 302.

I was talking to a friend the other night and he thought the quote I got for my engine rebuild was too high. I've basically been quoted between $2000-3000 for a full rebuild of my straight-6 200 cu. in. engine. This would include all necessary parts and labor. The places I've gone too have been professional places (two Mustang places, a classic car restoration place, and a retired Ford mechanic). My friend seems to think I could get a much better deal from a plain old engine shop.

Do you think I could get a better price? Do you think I should be worried about the quality of the rebuild vs. one of the Mustang places?
