Just checking what the CA swap would cost if I were to get it done at a shop. I'm not talking about the cost of the motorset, just the labor.

thanks

One Hundred BILLLLLLLLLLLION dollars [/dr.evil]

Seriously....rent an engine hoist, check out the srswap.com install FAQ, get a case of beer and a friend or two and go to town. If you the aptitude to install basic parts, install a stereo, and a little patience, then you will be highly rewarded and have an extra $1,000 or so in your bank account to put towards goodies, seeing as that's about the average install cost.

Including engine shipped, and all off the little things that I needed to accumulate to get it in (clutch line, air filter, MAF, etc) cost me right around $1600 to get it in the car and running. Not bad at all.

How long did it take you for the swap?
