Aight fellas,

I am bout ready to rebuild my kodiak, I want to do a top end and a bottom end and im lookin for a shop in louisiana that WONT charge me $1300 to do it. Does any one around know a place that will do a good quaility job and warrant there work?

THe stealer ship here in baton rouge told me it would take 1400-1500 bucks to get it done from top to bottom....this is just for the motor! i still got some other things to do to it too!

So i am calling on everyone in louisiana that has ever had a good shop rebuild a motor and have good results. Im willing to drive 2 hours or so for a reputable shop.

OR does anyone have or know of a wrecked 450 that i can get the motor out of?

thanks

from what ive heard the stroker kit is extremely reliable. but if you think that is bad then just be glad you aint my friend. he paid somethin like $2000 to $2300 to rebuild the top and bottom end of his foreman 450.
