Default Does this swap sound like a good deal?

SIRII
New:
Valve Cover Gasket (honda)
Thermostat (honda)
Spark plugs
Water pump (honda)
Timing belt
AASCO 9lb flywheel
Clutch Specialy clutch
All oem wiring harnesses

Thats all I can think of right now.

GRAND TOTAL

3500

dropped off on friday, swapped into my ej, picked up on sunday.

Let me know if this sounds like a good deal or not!

(i put this in eg+ because it moves a lot faster than hybrid threads)

what mounts?
who is doing the swap?
I am assuming they are removing a/c
What about the stock motor? yours or thiers?
what about the stock harness?

I say yes. Shops out here are talking almost 5gs for a USDM GSR swap. Just over 2500 for a LS swap.CRAZY! Thats not including all the goodies you are getting.
Clutch, flywheel, timing belt, etc.

Valve Cover Gasket (honda):$32
Thermostat (honda): $11.20
Spark plugs:$40 (oem)
Water pump (honda):$82.60
Timing belt :$44
AASCO 9lb flywheel:$365
Clutch Specialy clutch: who knows I'll guess no more than $250
All oem wiring harness: $125

So far that is $949 I haven't even claculated labor which is typicall a $500 job for a motor install that is plug and play. Cost of the motor is at most $2500 for a complete swap. $1k for a longblock.

So if this is a complete swap than I say the price is decent. If this is a longblock then the price is high. IMO

Can't even hardly buy a legit GSR for $1900. My buddy does GSR swaps for $3200 includes everything and takes less than a day. Also includes his guarentee it will be all good, very reputable and always takes care of people. He does just labor for $900 if you have all the parts and motor.

shops in Orange county are charging $3400, with LSD (OE) so i would say no because the flywheel should not be charged for. i would give only a $100 more for the flywheel a good deal on that swap should be any wear from $2750 to $2900

mine wasnt installed for 1900. i just bought the swap and put it in myself. motor swaps are way to easy in a honda to pay someone 500-1k for it.
