Check out the sponsors section. Careful what you guys say in here cause mods are really iffy about advertising mechanical work prices

VTEC swap with VTEC wiring , retaining PS and AC is $1000 from BG. Thats a COMPLETE ENGINE SET TO ENGINE SET swap (That means motor, trans)

If its a longblock swap it runs $1200 because i have to swap your clutch, trans, starter, over to the new longblock and that takes longer.

most SHOPS will charge 10-15 hours of labor for an engine swap.

labor rates cary of course,.

I know you said im charged for 10-15 hours of labor, but i know there are other things to work on then just my car....how many days? if i were to want to get a swap, could i either get it shipped to yalls shop or could i get yall to find me a good one? just curious

most swaps take us 3-5 days. We only have 2 techs, and we take our time doing things right. Our installs are clean

honestly if any shop around probably were to do it, i honestly would probably take it to yall since i have seen yalls work numerous times...not dissing any other shop or anything like that...I just know yalls reputation, been to the shop before (long time since i have been there tho). im really just trying to weigh my options and see what im dealing with.

Im not sure im going to keep the car long enough to want to put a swap into it, im trying to decide of i want to get something else after a while. Kinda wanting to go rear wheel drive. want a lil more power withs something behind it.
