Re: b20/vtec head (SkAnK_aSS_BRyAn)
unless your talking a new/rebuilt engine and tranny that sounds high to me.
Not New
b20 (less than 40,000 miles JDM) 650.
GSR Tranny (less than 60,000 miles) 800
GSR Head ranging from 400-600
P28 ECU Programed 100-125
Mounts and Shift Linkage 150 or less
CV Joints (new) 100 or so
Labor $500
------------------------------------------
Total--- about 2700-2800
Now, I know these prices b'cuz its what i'm doing to my EG. My EG is already manual tranny but i cant imagine that the switch should be that much more. Now if your getting a rebuilt tranny and motor that would raise the price significantly, otherwise, i think i would shop around some more.
just my 2 cents

Your forgetting the auto to manual conversion, ls vtec oil lines, ac removal, assembly of the motor, oil, oil filter, spark plugs, timing belt,
Its the little things that add up

5000 is way to much
no more than 3500
or do it yourself.... for the price of 500 labor you can get your own tools and learn a lot!
Plus you get to keep the tools! Swaping head and engines is easy. Just have a shop do the machine work and you're set!

WOW YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY! I would never pay that much for a b20v swap. You can get an ITR swaped in your car for that price. You all are crazy.

Are you a n00b at reading as well? My daughter is done with her dick and jane book, care to borrow it?
He also has to have a auto to manual conversion done, which is not done quickly. Most shops charge a flat fee per hour, and that adds up.

Re: (bonZai)
WOW 5 Grand, well for whats going down seems like a fair price. Why B20 VTEC though be prepared for oil problems out the yin-yang. I also have to ask has the block been prepared for the revs of the VTEC head? Good Luck with this personally I hope it all works out but I'd just go GSR save money and effort 
WTF: 9 grand for a Type-R for that go K-series, seriously amazing what shops will charge
