Swap question

[AkademikONE]

I don't usually lurk around other forums other than the 240sx ones, but I wanted to ask a Z question. My friend has a N/A 1993 300zx. He's going to swap in a VG30DETT soon, the turbo motor. How hard of a swap is this? What kind of labor prices are to expect? Any problems with this?

Thanks

unless you are quite mechanically inclined, then i wouldn't recommend it. if you do it, the engine bay looks really hard to do anything at all but once you break it down, it is actually pretty easy. now labor costs, well, a vg30dett is about $3k, and sgp charges about $6k for the motor and to do the swap, so i would say ABOUT $3k for labor.
