question on how much labor should be

what is a reasonable amount of hours to charge for a motor swap b18c1 (obd1) into a ek hatch 96, aftermarket intake manifold, cluth and flywheel, timing belt, water pump, new oil pump? i just have a little worry with my mechanic and the work that he did (friend). i would really like some opinions on how many hours it would be for something like this. the more opinions the better. and i did %90 of dropping the old motor out. but i want to know if i didnt touch the thing how much would be the going rate. i live in central florida

that sound about right, sometimes places charge more if you make changes like OBD2 -1
