That's the best price I paid for both of my swaps.

Re: Price paid to swap motor??? (redcivsi)
any 6 year old with some plastic wrenches can do a honda swap. its easier than changing a flat tire. do a VW vr6 swap or a 1.8t swap. Seriously a complete moron with a 3 IQ could do one in a week. with a jack 2 jack stands and a 10,12,14,17,19 wrench and a set of sockets. 
i know a place that will do it for $500 maybe $400

You just shattered my esteem!
Of course, my most extensive mechanics project pre-swap was an intake.
Done soon...

I paid $0. Doing it yourself is the only way to do it. It's the most fun way and you know exactly what you did. And besides, once you get one swap under your belt, doing more becomes easier and you can make money doing it for other people (Me and my friend Jazzyfoo on here have made a decent amount of cash doing swaps for people around our area) 
DIY projects for my car. when YOU do it, you know what you have on your car.

I just did a swap for Gravedigger....
B16 into a 96 CX hatch....took almost 4 hours start to finish, and he gave us 150 bucks.....more than enough to help out a buddy

Well...I am doing an H22 swap, but there is no way in hell that I am going to consider doing that one by myself. I am paying a little over a grand to have it installed, but to me it is worth it.
