rebuilding a d16
I'm considering building a d16 as my next car and just wanted to get an idea of how much the labor costs would be to do this. I know prices are going to vary but I'm just looking for an average price here.

I know that my local import/tuner shop charges like 800 bux to assemble a whole motor for you. Call your local places because I've heard anything from 300-2000 for this.
Don't let them know you have deep pockets, ask them to build a stock motor, then show up with tons of badass parts.

I don't know about you, but If I was to build a D block, I would just pick up a whole new D series long block. And build the motor my self, that way you can save A TON of money, and you will still have a car to drive.
just pick up a helms or factory manual, and a torque wrench.

I would definately do that if I knew what I was doing lol. I've always wanted to do it myself but never wanted to risk the money on a project like that. Is it really as easy as following a manual?

There is always a time to learn, if you have a manual, and your not a dumbass, and you follow directions there isn't alot of tools you need to put in parts for your D block, plus theres tons of DIY on here. gl.
