Okay i have a 99' Honda Civic Ex and I want to drop a 1.6L DOHC VTEC b16a2 motor into it. Can someone please give me the prices of the motor and all other parts to go with it, ECU, wiring harnesses, tranny and engine mount, and the cost of labor. Also please link a site(s) that has reasonable prices for this. I just want a estimate of the cost for this WHOLE swap. I live in GA so if your local that would be more accurate. Thanks!

 

Check https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/ for wiring info etc.

 

That doesnt really help me. But ill look around. I'm not trying to self swap the engine. I just need price quotes on the whole swap. What all do I need to buy this swap, just the engine? or do I have to purchase all new wiring harnesses, tranny and engine mounts or will the stock ones in the Ex fit? Please let me know, Thanks.

 

I will do it for you anywhere in the lower 48 state for $10,000. I will supply all parts and come to you. Sound like a deal?

 

I've got some estimates for $4,000 total. Your WAY to pricey man sorry.

 

Lol $4k? That includes a brand-new crate motor, trans, & all-new parts from a Honda dealership, right? I guess its better than the quotes my car's previous owner got - $4k to replace just the D16 shortblock.

You can get almost any engine importer to ship a complete B16A swap for $2250 +$350 freight. The swap takes a mildly-experienced person 8hrs with hand tools, jack, and cherry picker to do the swap, and a pro 2-3 hours at most. Even $300 for labor is considered expensive - your cheapest estimate puts you at an ***-raping $1400 for labor.


BTW this definately doesn't belong in a technical forum, much less anything besides the Want To Buy forum.
