it depends on what kind of swap too. 92-95 civics are very easy to swap a b-series in, its plug and play, no hassle's at all with wiring and what not

okay,do a B16 into a dual-point EF in 3-4 hours......including putting on all new service parts too(water pump,timing belt,ignition parts,clutch,etc...)
anyway,it all depends.if i have a complete engine/tranny,ready to go,about 4 hours for an EG/EK/DC.allow a couple more hours if you have to do service parts on the new engine,lots of wiring(DPFI to MPFI),etc.
if this is your first swap,allow a weekend to do it.could take way less depending on your previous experience.

true, but i think he meant 3-4 hours meaning, taking engine out, putting engine in and getting it to run. but nonetheless, it will take more time depending on what you said.

Yea I would definatly think that there should be no reason for a shop to have your car longer than over night. For a pro its definatly a one day deal

From jacking the car up till it driving down the street four hours... The tranny itself shouldn't be more than 1.5hours....

took about 30 minutes for me and B18C1EF to swap a GSR motor into my old 92 EG. Bolt on core support helps quite a bit

I could probably get it done within 7 or 8 hours. I know i could do it within a day with chill time and such, if its all together 7-8 sounds right

shops usally charge 8-12 hours. being a professional doesnt mean you faster, means you should be doing things by the book.
