How much to rebuild HP500EFI's
My 2001 HP500EFI motors have 300 hours on them. I think it may be time to have them freshened up. What can I figure the cost will be to do this? Who can do this?

I think it may be more like 20k as this guy gives low ball estimates and then it's "... guess what we found when we pulled them apart time".....I know a guy who would redo them right for about 25k.
Let me know if you want a hook up.

Re: How much to rebuild HP500EFI's
I will probably pull/reinstall them myself. Is that price "per motor"? I have a triple, as in three of them, to do. Anybody give a quantity discount?

Re: How much to rebuild HP500EFI's
linster, your close but off by about 2000 file to fit rings extra labor not included, r&r is low should be about 850 and you didnt include dressing the mtr and stripping it, and assy if done right (check and double check) is alittle low
the labor #s are about right for a 5.7 even jasper gets 2500 for a 5.7 and I wouldnt put it in my worst enemys boat
If I build someones 500 I make sure its not going to come apart, will I do a complete rebuild and R&R for 6000 no because it means short cuts where taken
oh and just noticed do you replace lifters, springs ect and not replace the cam
real simple and I think most builders/ tech will agree do it right or dont do it at all
No I am not the cheapest... but it will be right
If you want cheaper call me and Ill be more then happy to point you to cheaper and tell you how many Ive had to go back into because someone was "cheaper"

Re: How much to rebuild HP500EFI's
With out seeing seeing the condition of everything but assuming nothing major. A complete rebuild with dyno run would be around 6-7k ea.
