jesus... 4700 seems like alot for a b16 swap.
edit: i guess it seems so high cause of the ac and the labor for that.

Doesn't sounds too awful bad, atleast don't frown on it now, just enjoy your swap. Go drive the **** out of it.

Re: (ZedEx)
I had two friends help me with my swap. In the end I learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and probably improved my friendships with them.
Paying sucks unless you have to.

I wish I had friends that would help me with anything automotive related, unfortunately I wouldn't trust any of them with a wrench and my car...none are too technically inclined. Fortunately my dad is...and he would enjoy helpin.
Sounds like a fair price though.

Re: (Jorsher)
I dont know you but i dont even charge that much. I would charge like 800 the most for all that (labor wise). I only charge 300 for swaps. Ehh i guess its different in different parts.
