Ok, so I know labor costs vary from shop to shop but I was wondering how much labor would cost to Swap an SR20DET S13 Redtop into a '91 automatic 240sx. I don't require enough of the mechanical know how to do this myself and i was just wondering if any of you had any idea. If you don't then maybe you know from experiences or something.. just let me know.

Thanks, I'm new here,Dave.

ranging from 600-1300 depending on if you are already supplying them with the necessary parts and if you want to convert the automatic to manual.

labor rates generally are around 800 just for the swap w/o manual conversion

the time it takes the swap a motor can vary some shop to shop. im guessing if they're experienced and know what they're doing, it'll take about 10 - 14 hours? then you have the factor each shops different hourly rates... the ones i've encountered are 75$ - 95$. you can do the math there. you should try to find any places around your area and call them up. the most you're looking at for labor would be around 1800. always be prepared

get your wires sent to the Wiring Specialists to get it wired and just give the wiring harness to the shop so they dont charge you ridiculous amount of money for that.

Other than that it should be around 1000 or less

still not a big fan of Yuri's but hey I guess hes doing something right. Although my harness is wired wrong somewhere.

My buddy does great wiring but I dont know if hes open for jobs right now or not. I could ask and it might be cheaper than Yuri or the same price.
