He wants $150 To do this...

And he wants an extra $100 to put my headers on, is this a fair price or could I find cheaper?

My truck is a @ wheel drive SWB Chevy With a 350 motor and 350 Trans.

You apparently haven't been to a Chevy garage lately! Owning a Chevy I can see how that can happen, but if you have, you would know instantly that $150 is a sweat deal
