Labor can range you anywhere from $500 - $1000 depending on who you know. Could be cheaper I suppose, but it might be a little harder to find anything cheaper than that.

Osaka is great, I am going to purchase my motor from there, and I haven't really heard any horror stories from there, B18C1 for 2700 can't ask for anything more

Re: how much you guys pay for engine swap (Soichiro Honda)
I cant change the oil in a ford, but I can do any Honda/acura swap.
Certify that.....
My 5 year old sister with narcolepsy, one arm, crosseyes, and HADD can do a swap. And so can you.
One time I did a swap with handtools in a winn dixie parking lot. So dont tell me you have no place to do one.

I don't think a motor lift or jackstands qualify for "hand tools".

Ya **** Osaka, if I had the tools I would of done my own so I know there would be no foul play.
foul play and osaka? I've heard nothing but good about their company. I'd buy an engine from them..

somewhere around 1800 is a pretty reasonable price...but usually if your lucky i sometimes see them for for about 1200 or less....check around like recycler.com and stuff...

guys do it right the first time and order your motors from IAS (import auto salvage), so you dont get jipped on crappy parts/missing. I know I am kicking myself a little for buying my swap and having missing parts!!
