    10 hours MINIMUM =$800

    If your OBD1 an doing an OBD1 swap and adding VTEC,Knock, O2 sensor then its $1100

    If your OBD2 SOHC an going to DOHC VTEC, we charge $1500 in labor (RR Engine, wire knock, wire vtec, wire IAC, wire IAT, extend both O2 sensors, swap Bracket on Timing Belt side)

    Most REPUTABLE SHOPS with OVERHEAD will charge in the $800-1200 range.

    You cna find buddies that do it for $300

    I think it depends on the shop you bring your car to. Some small shop on buford hwy might be around 500. Some good shop might charge you around 1000.
    I prefer a better shop unless you know someone that do it really well.

    It really depends on the swap you are trying to get, if your going from one gsr to another etc etc... it will be cheaper than if you had a single cam and wanted a gsr.
