how much does it cost to have a shope drop in a motor??

 

What motor, what car?

 

b18c1 or b18c5 in a DA

 

swaps in the new england area charge between $600 and $1000. I'm sure shops that do swaps more often will charge less.... just get some friends together one day and do it in the garage.

 

About 7-1000 in cali

 

If you got a type R motor probably more because people hate

 

why do people hate swapping type r motors

 

I am saying that they would hate on you for having one. Cause they probably want one themselves

 

do you know any good cheap places (cites) that i could buy a b18c5 off of?

ofcourse you can

 

so how much did all those extra parts and the motor plus install end up costing u?

 

its about 7 to 8 hours of labor, but you have factor in any wiring that has to be done, unless you are including a harness, then they add the labor of adding that in, some places will do it for cheap to add that, since the engine will be out already. Up north they charge about 80 an hour to do a swap, I charge about 350 to 400 depending on what needs to be wired and I hook people up on some stuff.
