    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,.

    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.

    If you're in the gwinnett area Vuong's Garage charges $580 for swap labor and we also do clean installs. Just give Vuong a call, the number is in the sig.
